Hi;

we are using a standalone Windows 2000 advanced server, this has a user account on it that logs in locally called Gary, the profile has become corrupt, within that profile are emails within Outlook 2003 POP3 account, these emails are very important but we can not login and view them, the system now creates a new local profile for gary called gary.pcname ?? the emails were not backed up latley, so no PST, how can we get the emails from POP3 in Outlook?

I can then recreate the profile, I can still access the profile when logged in as local admin

thanks

If you can login as admin and access the corrupt profile, then your pst should be here:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Should just be a matter of importing the pst back to outlook...
