Lost mail after system date change.

Hello,

One of our users is missing all mails from his inbox after an idiot
thought it would be amusing to change his system date to 2024. Other
than getting hundreds of recurring appointments appearing there appears
to be no trace of any mails that were residing in his inbox.

I've had a look through his pst file in case this chain of events
triggered an auto-archive but can't find any of the elusive mail.

I wasn't there at the time this happened so can't provide any info as
to any warnings that appeared. Just wondering if anyone can shed any
light as to what might have happened. The client is Outlook 2000
running on W2K Pro.

Thanks,

Martin

Click to expand...

I suspect that autoarchive is the culprit. Click File>Archive and see where
the archive folder resides. Then open that file with File>Open>Personal
Folders File.
