How do I recover my inbox when I switch off my system before Outl.

[Guest]

The power to my computer was switched off before Outlook closed down. On
reopening it I have lost all my inbox messages - How do I retrieve these?
Thanks.

Are you using a .PST file? If so, try running the Inbox Repair Tool against
it to see if it finds any errors. Search your drive for a file called
scanpst.exe and run it. Allow the program to make a backup of your file
before it makes any changes.

What is .pst file? My emails were in my Inbox before it was turned off
accidentaly but are not there now, or can be found. My Deleted Items and Sent
Items can be traced but not my Inbox messages lost. Thanks.

Are you in a corporate environment and thus using Exchange, or are you using
Outlook in a stand-alone situation and thus using a pst (Personal Folders
File) file?
