Unhappy [O 2007] Lost emails while transfer

Hello,

I have a problem with lost emails from Outlook 2007 and it would be of extreme importance for me to recover them, if at all possible. Ill try to explain what happened in detail and will be very grateful for any assistance.

In Outlook 2007 I have "Personal folders" and "Archive folders".
I had a number of emails (quite a few, maybe ~1000) in the "Deleted Items" folder.
I selected all of them and DRAG n DROPED em into a Folder name Archive 2010 in Archive folders part.
I was asked to confirm, a msg saying something along the lines that it might take some time to do so. Confirmed.

The process took a while (few minutes) at the end of which the following happened:
- all emails were removed from Delted Items
- NO emails apeared in the destination folder
- a "new email" apeared with a number of attchements - email msgs attached

I tried to send the email to myself, but upon sending it stoped responding and that email was lost.


Now the reason why I believe the lost emails *are* somewhere, is because my Outlook data file (.pst) titled "outlook" has ~512 mb , while all my (not lost) emails ammount to ~100 mb.

However, I cannot find them in any folders within outlook.

Please, if anyone has any ideas, help me with this problem.
Much obliged for all answers and help
Fran
