I was trying to do something else, and I went to Office Help and set
something back to "Default". When I went into Outlook, I was greeted with
"Set up a new profile". I have not done that because I am afraid I have
deleted all the Outlook folders. [If your next ques. is: Did I back up
Outlook? Answer: not knowingly, no--not on a CD or anything. My server is
earthlink and Yahoo for e-mails. I did find a MAPI file in the computer that
says something about .pst files being on a Microsoft server, but if they are,
it's news to me. How do I contact the Microsoft server to find out?]
 
search for a hidden file with the .pst extension. that should contain all
your data unless it is server-based. If any data is server based (I doubt it
in your case) then the data will be back when you connect to that service.
Once you have located the .pst file one method to restore your data to the
new profile is to open the PST via File | Open ... and copy your data to the
new profile. Note that you might have a few PST files on your drive.
