Interesting Rule Problem and "on other computer"

I pulled my old .pst into a clean installation of Outlook 2003.
I then saw that my rules were there, and downloaded my mail.
No where to be found. I saw them come in (over 1000 mails!) - but they were
not in the inbox, not anywhere. I even did a search for emails that were
newer than yesterday, and nothing popped up.

Then, later, I realized that the rules were set to something like "other
computer" or something like that. That designation was removed when I went
in and edited each and every rule and made sure that all items were pointing
to the right places. The strange thing was - normally Outlook 2003
complains that rules are misconfigured when I first import them.

This time they did not.

The download of 1,000 emails was about 2.5 megs - and strangely enough, my
..pst grew by an appropriate amount. So, I think that the emails were
received - but delivered to "another computer" - i.e. they are in the .pst
file, but waiting for that other user to login.

Can I recover the files?

Thank you,

How? You should have used File>Open>Outlook Data File.
