Where should I look for auto-archived "Sent Items?"

C

cherodman4u

I desperately need to find some previously sent emails that have been
auto-archived... I didn't even realize that this auto-archive measure was on
or I'd have turned it off. I specified no folders in which to archive: I've
tried the whole import thing from pst. folders, i.e. Outlook, Outlook1 and
Outlook2... But I must be doing something wrong 'cause thay've got to be
somewhere as I NEVER delete sent emails. PLEASE HELP ME! I'm beggin' ya!

Search for *.pst (including hidden & system folders)
Do not import - use file | open | outlook data file, and open each in turn.

Turn of autoarchive.

Click File>Archive or right-click Sent Items, Choose Properties, and click
the AutoArchive tab and look where Outlook places your archived items. Open
that PST with FIle>Open>Outlook Data File. Do NOT import.
