Since you've already tried all of the obvious stuff...is it possible
that it was part of another PST file and that you've closed that file?
Have you searched your hard drive for *.PST (Make sure to include hidden
folders) to see if there are add'l PST files on your system?

Also, I think you're learning the value of backups. Sorry!

Don't know how it happened, but I had a folder in my personal folders called
"Travel" where all my travel-related email was directed and now it's gone!
Can I retrieve the folder somewhere ? (Outlook 2007 - Windows XP Pro)
