I just upgraded to Office 2003 and all my e-mails are gone . . .I know they
are there, but how do I get them back??

They're in a file with a .PST extension. See
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm for restoration
instructions.

Thanks for the site, but once I follow the instructions on how to get to the
..pst files, I do not have any .pst files in there . . . any clue???

I'm facing somewhat the same problem. All my e-mails from present back to
May 17 are gone, but all the old ones are still there. I'm still digging for
how to rebuild....
Check to make sure you're viewing the hidden files, access through folder
options,view tab.

As Greg suggested, the .PST files are often in hidden Windows folders, so
when you do your search for .PST files, you have to specify that you want to
search within hidden folders also.

I just ran through this rigamarole:
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-5054599.html

and only recovered about 30 missing files out of a couple hundred. It
didn't come up with a "Lost and Found" folder when I restarted Outlook, but
there were those 30 in my "deleted items" folder under the recovered pst.
I used "frhed" (google it, there's an improved download link at the bottom
of the page it finds) to modify the pst flie.
Good luck, let me know if it works...

Enable viewing hidden files and folders in Control Panel's File Options
applet.
