Default Contacts lost in Outlook 2003

We recently changed from using and Exchange server to a POP3 email
system. While the exchange server was first down we were able to
access our contacts (tells me they were local).

To be safe I archived off the email, then setup the POP3 service and
brought the email back in. Now I cannot find any of my contacts
though.


Archiving is NOT a backup procedure. It's possible you lost your contacts
because of how you tried to save your data. Do you still have the Exchange
account defined in a profile? If so, you may be able to reference the OST
that may still be on your PC. You can then create a new PST and copy all
the data in the OST to the PST, which you can then access with the mail
profile containg the POP account.
