I can't find my saved e-mail mesages after using Detect & Repair.

I used Detect and REpair on my Outlook 2003. I asked it to restore default
settings and when I did that, I lost all my old e-mail messages I had in my
inbox. Can I retrieve them anywhere?

Brian, thanks for the info. Apparently, I did not back up my files prior to
using Detect and Repair because I can't find the pst file anywhere on my
computer. Can I assume they are gone?

Brian, I tried it again and searched for hidden files and I found it. Thank
you soooo much!!!!

You could of just clicked file, Data files management and outlook would open
the folder that holds all your PST. Files and outlook files. Remember this
next time you lose a folder.
