Old mails does not appear in outlook 2003
There is one user in our premises who logs in his email account using two different computers.Few days ago appeared in his "main" PC a message "The rules on this machine do not match the rules on your Exchange server".He selected client and all the mails except the unread have been gone.The same message appeared in the other PC ,there he selected "server" without any problem.The point is that even if he opens his account through owa he cannot see his old mails.I export a csv file from the one PC that he had access and i imported to the other.After few days the problem appeared again.I found the following article from Microsoft but didn't help me. Any suggestion in order to solve that problem? Thanks in advance,

Does the user have a rule to move emails to a personal folder (PST)?

Well , i checked for that but there is not.I created a new profile and i added that rule.
Did you try scanning both the PC's for any PST files?
Also I would search for a known old message on both the PC's using Outlook.

I found one pst in the main PC but the capacity of it was too small. I imported .On the second PC after the incident i mentioned above ,he is working via OWA.Yesterday, he couldn't see any mail while he was connected via OWA on the second PC.After that he tried to see the mails on the main PC but neither he could.

Fortunately i kept a pst.I cannot recover deleted items because there are not deleted items!! I will check and the second PC .Can you explain me how a user can do this ? I'm almost sure that the specific user does not know even to create a rule.
