Default Moved mail from pst to inbox. mail gone. recover?

Hey!



I was just wondering if there is anyway to recover deleted .ost files (even removed from the recycle bin) or even retrieve mail into a PST that were moved from that specific PST file to the inbox, and is now gone?

The thing is that I messed up when I tried to move my mail from my PST file to my inbox yesterday. OUTLOOK froze and I removed the .ost file so it could startup faster and smoother (bad habbit, I know). The mail that I moved to the inbox were there before shutting down OUTLOOK.

They were gone this morning when I looked. Only the folders the mail were in still existed.

Is there a way to retrieve the mail or the .ost file?

Ps. previous versions is turned off and I havenīt made anybackup of the pst file

What kind of account is this? POP3? IMAP? Hotmail? Exchange? Something else? I hope you're making plans to start backing up your PST file - your hard drive will eventually die (they all do) and it's going to take that PST file with it if you don't have backups.

But before risking your data, I'll suggest you to try a demo version.

Have tried at least 10 different recovery apps without any luck. none of them found anything.
