You can't directly open an archive file in Outlook. Archive files are used for storing emails and other data, but they are not designed to be opened as individual files. To access the content of an archive file, you need to restore it to your Outlook data files.
Here's how to restore an archive file in Outlook:
- Open Outlook.
- Go to "File" > "Open & Export" > "Import/Export."
- Select "Import from another program or file" and click "Next."
- Choose "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and click "Next."
- Browse to the location of your archive file and click "Next."
- Select the options you want to apply to the imported items, such as importing all items or only specific folders. Click "Finish."
Outlook will then restore the contents of the archive file to your Outlook data files. You can then access the emails and other data from the archive file as you would any other Outlook data.
Note: If you're using an older version of Outlook, the steps may vary slightly.
