Moved Archive Emails and Outlook Crashed

[DJCopa]

Hello There.

We have a user who stores their saved email in an Archive folder. He has then copied the contents of the folder to a new Archive folder and named it Emails 07. Outlook (2003) crashed whilst doing this , and only 1/4 of the emails copied across. The folder is about 2GB, which would explain the crash (I have since created new folders for gentleman so to not create a monster of this size again).
I wondered if Outlook had a store, that it saves data to when a problem occurs, or if they have all gone into the ether?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers.

Depends how things are configured. In the main mail folder check the deleted items. If it is Exchange, try recovering deleted items. In theory both should be empty as nothing was deleted, it was just moved.

There is no store (barring the PST / Exchange mailbox) so restoring from backup may be your only option.

Cheers for the response Zelandakh.

I think it's probably gone - As it was copied from a local Archive PST to another local pst, there is no sign of it on Exchange. If there is no local 'crash' store, I think it is unrecoverable.

Thanks.
