Lost my outlook mail messages

roberto

I had a computer that was part of a domain and I used to
login with my domain account.For job reasons I had to move
the pc to another location and I I create a local user
with the same name of my domain user and I joint a
workgruop. After a month I came back and I reconnecterd
the PC to the domain using the administrator user. When I
login in the compiuter with my domain user I got a bad
surprise that all my desktop,favorites and outlook files
were gone.I noticed in the Document and Setting folder
that thesystem create another fordel with the user name
and the domain extention. I copied the local user profile
to the new user profile and I got back everything but
Outlook files. I am quite nervous about the possibility
that I lost all my contacts and mail message. Any help
would be appreciate?

Search your drive for all files with a .PST extension -- all your
Outlook data will be in one (or more) of those. If you're using Windows
2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden and system folders to find
..PST files and most other Outlook files as well.

Look here for all the information you need on backup and restoration of
Outlook data:
