Where's my data???

[Guest]

Running Outlook 2003 SP2 recently started recieving duplicated emails.
(Leaving copy on server is turned off).
Decided to use the Detect & Repair facility and appear to have lost all data
i.e. emails, contacts, calendar, etc.
Anybody got any ideas how I can recover please?

Hi,

For personal users who do not have an Exchange Server, Outlook data is stored in Personal Folder files (*.pst). Outlook uses Personal Folder files to store Information such as
messages, contacts, calendar, etc. If your Outlook data is now missing, it's possible that Outlook no longer points to the .PST file you were previously using. Search your hard drive for
all .PST files, then open each one to see if you find your data.

Please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) articles to learn more about backing up the Outlook data and Office program settings.
