Outlook 2002 Mail Lost

[Rafael]

A user at my company moved his computer from his old job to this office, for a while there was no problem and he was still loging in to the domain even though it did not exist anymore (windows 2000 professional). Last night there was a problem with his computer ( I think he tried changing from login in to domain to workgroup). Now I can not go back to the domain login as it can not contact it. The problem is that all his user data was lost, meaning none of his emails or contacts remain when we login as an Administrator to the workgroup. Is there a way to retrieve that mail and contacts ? Or perhaps I have to go back to the old office and then set it up for the domain and be able to get the mail ? Thanks for any help

Thank you very much, however it did not help me, the folders the page describes are not on this computer, he is not listed as a user under profiles. I mite have to take it back and see what happens at the old location

So there aren't any .PST files on that computer? Where were they located
previously? Was he accessing them across a network or ?
