Eeek - I have just reconfigured my Microsoft Outlook account by downloading a
PICS Rules File and seem to have lost all my saved emails, emails in my
inbox, folders and contacts from my account. Are they recoverable or saved
on my computer somewhere? Or are they lost forever... Please help!

Outlook stores everything in a file called Outlook.pst . Its location is not
fixed.

This assumes you use Windows XP.

Which version of Outlook are you using?
Open Outlook.
Help > about

Folder options > view tab > uncheck "hide file extensions"
Also select "show Hidden & system .. "

Open "search" [ start > search ]
Set it to search hidden & system folders

Find outlook.pst

Best of success.
