Recovery of deleted Outlook 2003 files

[Skip Funk]

I lost all my email folders, inbox, sent, ALL email, ALL
contacts, and ALL calendar events, notes, and tasks -
EVERYTHING in Outlook 2003.

I created a vCard with my contact information. When I
attached my vCard to an email, I noticed that the
Activities were still attached to the vCard. Not wanting
to send all my contacts, email, folders, tasks, etc. with
my vCard, I deleted everything in the Activities list,
thinking I was merely deleting all the activities on the
vCard, and not realizing I was deleting everything in
outlook with my name or email address attached to it
(which was everything!).

How can I recover all my Outlook 2003 data, files,
folders, email, contacts, etc. now?

Thank you.

All you need to do is to find your outlook.pst file.
