Deleted Mails

Hi,

OS: Win2000 Professional
I used MS OutLook to read and sotre my mails ... then my windows got Crashed and i had to Format my C: drive ... but i managed to copy documents & settings folder for some documents.

Now with new windows my outlook is blank now and all my important mails are gone. But when i searched documents and setting folder i found that there are files with name matching to my previous folder names, like billing , bookings ... and with a healthy size like 23 MB and etc

Is there a way to recover these mails. ?

also pst files must be

so check this path and see what u see there in recoverd data.

or
Do a search for *.pst to recover the file and import into Outlook. If the file is corrupt, do a repair.
