||| Looks like I am hosed -- no .PST file. However, since I have only
||| been using Outlook 2007 for a month or two, restoring my Outlook
||| express stuff into Outlook 2007 would minimize the impact somewhat.
||| Can you refer me to a method to do that?
|||
|||| The .dbx, .mdx, etc files are for Outlook Express. AFAIK, if you
|||| did a format and reinstall, yes, you are hosed. If not, then you
|||| can try a search for a .pst file using hidden files/folders turned
|||| on in Windows search.

||||| I used pfbackup to create a PST folder prior to backing up Office
||||| 2007. Moved folder to desktop then did backup to external drive of
||||| my documents folder and desktop. I then reinstalled the OS,
||||| programs, then restored my backed up documents. Turns out the
||||| desktop did not get backed up, so no PST file. I do have an
||||| "Internet Mail and News folder (that contains DBX, IDX, and MBX
||||| folders and files) in the My Documents folder that was restored.
||||| Am I completely hosed as far as recovering my emails? Are there
||||| utilities out there to restore?
