Lost folders - please help

Hi There

For no apparent reason I found out yesterday that all of my personal mail folders under outlook's inbox have disappeared (Outlook 2007). Having looked into it, it would seem my pst file has corrupted and running the SCANPST.exe has not remedied the problem. I downloaded the demo Advanced Outlook Repair (AOR http://www.repair-outlook.com/) and it has located my 4,500 missing emails. The demo version does not actually retrieve the information it just tells you it can..

Please can someone advise me if AOR is my only option of retrieving my emails or if there is a less costly alternative as AOR is $250!!

many thanks

Jeremy

I've run SCANPST numerous times and each time it says no error has been found with the file.

Recently 'upgraded' from 2003 to 2007 which may have something to do with it corrupting and no, I don't have a recent back-up PST file.... though I will from now on!

Before you spend money you might want to do a search, to include hidden, for
*.pst.
There is allways the possibility that you have a new data file, and your old
one is still there..
Presumably you will now think about backing up data?
