Retrieving messages
 

Help, I mistakenly restored all the defaults on Outlook (the computer did not
crash) losing all the messages and address book. I have had to set up the
application from scratch entering account details etc. Question is: are all
the messages and contacts still held on the computer even the program needs
to be set up again and, if so, how do I retrieve them. Any assistance greatly
appreciated. Thanks. P89

If you made a backup of your system or My Documents, search for a file
called Outlook.pst. If you have that you can import all the information.

You stated you restored OL defaults, I assume you didnt also Clean Install
Win.
Your pst / data file will be still there, unless you specifically deleted it
Search, to include hidden for *.pst - if it finds none your search settings
are wrong -
