At work I am on a network. I got a new user name and password for the network. When I started using it I deleted my old windows profile (I'm on Win me) because I thought I had transfered everything to my new profile. Now my emails are all gone and so are my contacts and calander appointments (I use Outlook 2000). Does anyone know how to recover these items?

Thank you. jazzee

I don't know too much about windows me, but I think your stuff is gone. I'm pretty sure the old e-mails are gone (unless your ISP holds on to a copy, it's worth a check).

You might be able to recover your contacts though. You can import your .pst (personal folders). Search your computer for any .pst files. I think it's your only chance. ~Javrix

You had the right idea but my files are not there. Just my new ones are (the ones I made with my new profile).

Thank you anyway. jazzee
