lost email after changing delivery location - help!

[Tom Petersen]

I changed delivery locations in outlook 2002 to a different .pst file on the
local drive. Before I did this I had 14 new messages in the inbox. Now I
have zero, I changed the delivery location back to the previous .pst file,
and still nothing, so I am guessing they were downloaded off of the Exchange
2003 server???

Is there anyway to get these back? Would the exchange admin normally have a
backup of this, and if so, do you know if they can restore an individual
message store? (I have en email in to them, but we've been hit with some
bad weather, and I'm in kind of a bind)

Since it wasn't a shared drive, I can't use Shadow Copy on it either.

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to give me!
Tom

Changing the delivery location from an Exchange store to a Personal Store
usually causes the items to be removed from the Exchange Store so I doubt it
will be in the Exchange store. On the backup issue it will depend on the
Backup software being used but restoring Exchange is not as straight forward
as restoring say a word document
