Lost yahoo emails in outlook- help!

Hi there- I'll do my best to explain my problem, but I am no computer expert,
& imagine my "troubleshooting" may have muddled things up worse as I have no
clue what I did...

In short, all of my yahoo emails from the past 3 years have disappeared.
They were "popped" to my outlook folder, showed up there as "new", I messed
with the outlook settings some how & adjusted profiles not knowing why they
showed up, and now they are completely gone. Are they gone for good?

I believe the problem stems from my clicking on a "contact us" link, and
since i think outlook is my default email setting (although i do not use it)
it prompted me to complete my profile- which i did including all my yahoo
info- and, I assume, this "popped" all my yahoo email to outlook (although
not at all what i wanted it to do...so, i don't think i set up any settings
to save to server or anything- if that matters).

I didn't delete anything out of outlook, but did mess with the profiles,
replacing the default yahoo profile with my gmail address, etc...perhaps this
permanently removed all my yahoo emails- i'm just hoping there's some
"secret" setting or file that i know nothing about that can restore these 3
years of emails back to my yahoo account. Is it possible all these emails
are just "lost" without ever actively deleting them or responding to a prompt
to remove them from outlook? That's hard to stomach, & i'm desperate to
locate these emails.... what can i do? Thanks SO much in advance- i'm
desperate!
