Default Lost a Folder - HELP !

Then it sounds like your folder is permanently gone. Of course, you make regular backups, right?

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!

I got so freaked when I discovered the file was lost I did a back-up of the
remaining files and over-wrote the older back-up...dumb, I know ! Anyway, if
I had restored the older back-up, I would have lost my more recent emails
so, in retrospect, thank goodness it wasn't a folder that contained things I
didn't have hard copies of.
