If you're simply searching for *.pst, you have to include hidden files/folders. Where the PST is located is dependent upon the O/S. If the user's NT profile folder has been deleted, then the PST is deleted.

One of my clients did this intending to add a new account and save the old mail, but all the old mail is gone. Where did it go? I can't find any old PST files on the hard drive. They're running in POP mode, and have no backups.
