Lost Emails??

[Guest]

While compacting, Outlook, or virus, "somehow" erased all my emails!! Years
gone. Machine shutdown after compacting, and after, no emails. Is there ANY
way to recover all these lost emails????

The easiest way to recover from such failures is restore from backup. If
you don't have a backup, then things may prove more difficult.

You say all your mail has been "erased". So your PST file is 100% empty?
Sent items are gone as well?

Try to run scanpst against your PST file; it may recover most of your
mail. ==> Make a backup before you run scanpst!!!

You mention "virus"; if you suspect that your system is infected, clean
out your infections *before* you do anything! Run a full scan with an
up-to-date antivirus and antispyware tool.
