Very simply, I copied one user profile to another using windows explorer.
THe source profile was for a domain account and the destination was a local
computer account. Both accounts were set up to use the same e-mail accounts.
I was using the standard location for my .pst files within the profile.
When I logged into the local profile after overwriting it with the domain
acct I could not see any e-mail since the last time the local account was
used, approximately 3 weeks ago. Of course, the domain profile is empty and
I did't create a restore point....duh.

A) Why did my outlook data files not copy over and B) is there any way at
all that I can retrieve that e-mail? SOme of it was quite important.

Thanks
 
Did both user profiles use the same PST file name? Check for multiple PSTs
under the local profile just in case.
 
Yes, same .pst names. I did a full system scan and made sure to scan hidden
files etc searching for outlook file extensions and found no missing files.
