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!
