I know how to find PST files, thank you all very much. The old PST file isn't there, and none of the undelete tools I have (Recuva, PCI File Inspector, Restoration, and NTFSundelete) could find any *.PST files when I mounted the drive in another computer. We may send the drive off to a recovery service to scour the unused sectors of the disk for fragments of PST files, but that's a forlorn hope IMHO. Apparently the old PST was "outlook.pst" in the default path, and when the @#...@#$%@#$% tech deleted the old account ([email protected]), that file was deleted. When he created the new account for the new email address ([email protected]) under the same user profile, Outlook created "outlook.pst" using the same directory-entry, overwriting the old one.
