I attempted to access my Outlook 2003 this morning and was unable to. It
asked for a new profile. It appears that I've lost all my addresses,
contacts, emails, and calendar/appointment set-ups. Help please, how do I
get this back??????
If this is based on a PST file (not all stored at an Exchange server)
then you just have to find the PST file, if it's an Exchange server
setup get the Admin to help you find the date, reconnect to it, etc.
You cannot lose you Outlook PST file without actually
deleting it or losing the hard drive it is on.
Most likely you lost the PROFILE (that points to it.)
Check your default directory first:
Open a command prompt and type: dir /s *.pst
If that doesn't find anything do the same from the top of each
hard drive:
cd /d c:\
dir /s *.pst
d:
dir /s *.pst
etc....
Make a copy of the file (just in case) and even if you have to
setup a new profile you won't lose the email, contacts, notes,
todos, etc -- mostly you will lost signatures and setup items.
