Lost .PST file of Personal Folder(Default E-mail) for Microsoft Outlook

Location:C:\Documents and Settings\pc2\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

In an effort to remove my messages from an office computer, I have
deleted .PST folder for default e-mail by pressing sift + Del key.
Now OE can't open or access to
add a new e-mail account and saying under Personal Folder Titled
window:
" could not be found default
e-mail folder .PST file"

I have run http://www.active-undelete.com/ (demo v5.1) to recover it
but its not found after scanning via Undelete software.

It looks like it's not recoverable. Not sure what Outlook Express has to do
with things since it shouldn't be using a PST file anyway...

 

[Thaqalainnaqvi]

This is Microsoft Outlook not OE.

 

[Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]]

Ah... you mentioned OE in your message so I was curious where that was going

Have you tried adding a new PST file in the Control Panel's mail applet? You
should be able to use it to add a PST and set it as the default

 

[Thaqalainnaqvi]

Can you explain how I will add a .PST to control panel's mail applet?

 

[Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]]

Control Panel > Mail applet > Click Data Files

After you're done adding a file, click the Email accounts button, Choose
View/Change existing accounts > Click Next. Then set the Deliver new mail
dropdown to the file you want to use

Vince thanks, I have done. At least Microsoft Outlook is starting
without any error.We don't have any account added. I fear to add my own
e-mail account,so I don't know whether it will work after adding any
e-mail to it.Tell me ,if I add any e-mail account,how can I remove my
account alongwith all traces of messages from all my folders,so that no
one else access it later.
