while fixing an error using detect & repair

[Guest]

I think I have deleted an outlook user account on my computer. I had an
error with Mcafee virus scan every time I opened Outlook. So I went to fix
it through detect and repair just as the error suggested.

I'm not quite sure what I did, but somehow the user was gone and when I
tried to recreate the account, I can't send/receive mail, the calendar
information is all gone, and also tasks, all contact information, previous
emails etc....

Please help me find out how to restore this account back to it's original
status with all the calendar and contact info. back in place... Thanks

Is there a .PST file associated with the deleted profile?

Trying to repair Outlook will have little efect when the problem is McAfee's

What probably happened is that the Detect and Repair created a new mail
profile or a new PST in the existing profile. In Control Panel, open the
Mail applet and click Show Profiles. Do you see more than one? If so,
choose the inactive profile and see what happens. If you see only one
profile, then add your accounts back in and point that profile at your
original PST with the Data Files button.
