Though I'd share this bit of info...

I had a laptop returned to me with company correspondence deleted out of the Outlook 2002 program for the user of that system.

I needed to recover all of this email for a couple of different reasons, the PAB file had been deleted and the PST file had been wiped also...

Searching around through restore point I found a PAD for this user and a PST which had the extension changed to OST...

This I changed back to PST and placed in the same directory as the PAB (mailbox) file...

Loaded it up and still had nothing but junk in it...

So I ran iolo technologies "Search and Recover" it is sold stand alone and also as part of the System Mechanic Pro version 4 utilities....

It recovered every single thing from that trashed PAB and PST file...

so if you run into problems with your email for any reason, download the trail(fully functional for 30 days) and run it against a copy of your email files...

anyway....
