MDBVU32 disaster! Expert help needed!   
Hello all,

I had an e-mail with a big attachment stuck in my Outlook 2003 outbox. I was 
using MDBVU32 to delete the message (as I have done successfully before) and 
then disaster struck!

I accidentally called the "EmptyFolder" procedure on the "Top of Personal 
Folders" folder. I thought I had lost everything, e-mails, calendar, 
contacts...EVERYTHING!

However, the .pst file is still the same size as it was before, which makes 
me believe that all my information is still there. Nothing appears however in 
MDBVU when I try to go into the "Top of Personal Folders" folder.

Is it possible that I just deleted the "links" to all my e-mails, contacts 
etc. and is there some way of telling the .pst that the files are still there 
and that I just need to re-link them?!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Sam

P.S. There's no recent backup of the .pst in case anyone as wondering!
