Lost Outlook 2010 account settings, email and contacts?
I added a new account to Outlook 2010 on my laptop with my existing email account. On my laptop I used the same email settings on my desktop with Outlook 2010. Both were getting sending and receiving the same emails. I didn’t think this was possible but it worked.
I tried a “save as” with my desktop contacts “trying” to add my contacts to my laptop faster. Other than that I didn’t change any settings.
After shutting down my laptop, Outlook on my desktop wouldn’t open. It showed missing .pst file. I tried a system restore with no luck.
I did manage to open Outlook through open calendar and all my desk top email/contacts are missing as well as my account settings for email. My default email fonts are still the same.
Does it sound like I lost all my opened email and contacts? I can find a My Data Resources files in My Docs which opens in Excel and then prompts to connect to a server.
Is there a way of recovering my lost data and restoring it to Outlook? I can get my desktop email running again by reentering my account settings which disappeared. I may find out the hard way if what I'm trying to do isn't possible.
Thanks,
Mike
