ok to help you out here we need a liiiiiitle bit more info than that!!! First off....Are you on a network and using Exchange server or at home on a stand alone PC? Can you check for me weather you are using personal folders or a specific mailbox (on a server) or is it an internet account that you download from???????? Also when you say crahsed, what do you mean exactly??????
thanks! Jay~

Look in the C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\Microsoft folder, in here should be a folder with a very long alphanumeric name. In this folder your emails are stored as one big file for each folder (in outlook) you have. Make a copy of these files, reinstall outlook, put these files back, and run outlook. No promises but this worked for me the last time I had to reinstall windows from a formatted drive. Also, this assumes that your email files themselves aren't corrupted.

HTH
