OUTLOOK 2003: Empty PST?

[pagey47]

Help! I've been using my online webmail for a while and I decided to download them all with Outlook 2003. So I created a new pst datafile for them, set it to default and removed the other datafiles to keep things simple.

I then enterd my password (my account details were already in to collect the email) and it started downloading all my emails... Over 100Mbs worth.

But, I hadn't closed and reopened outlook so these downloaded to some other location and were not available to be read from my inbox and the pst is still a few Kb, the only problem being I have no idea where it is?!?! and they have been removed from the server now they have been downlaoded!!!

Anybody know where they are!!??

Thanks

Try here :

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

HTH

Have you done a seach of the HDD with the size criteria checked ??

Yes, I ended looking at all files created in that day, regardless of size but couldn't find anything that looked right? Perhaps it's in some kind of hidden temp directory?

I found them, the paths to the old datafiles were obviously still there, so the emails just downloaded in to my old pst... I just copied them over and removed the old datafiles again and then made sure I restarted outlook this time
