System Mechanic and Outlook /Outlook Express recovery
Wednesday, October 1, 2003 by IPlural | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Though I'd share this bit of info...
I had a laptop returned to me with company correspondence deleted out of the Outlook 2002 program for the user of that system.
I needed to recover all of this email for a couple of different reasons, the PAB file had been deleted and the PST file had been wiped also...
Searching around through restore point I found a PAD for this user and a PST which had the extension changed to OST...
This I changed back to PST and placed in the same directory as the PAB (mailbox) file...
Loaded it up and still had nothing but junk in it...
So I ran iolo technologies "Search and Recover" it is sold stand alone and also as part of the System Mechanic Pro version 4 utilities....
It recovered every single thing from that trashed PAB and PST file...
so if you run into problems with your email for any reason, download the trail(fully functional for 30 days) and run it against a copy of your email files...
anyway....

really?
I just ran the newest release after updating my registration the other day and installing version 4 SysMec and everything is restored, I mean things from a year ago are in there also...
oh he was a baaaaaad boy tooo....
I was joking with myself that I don't need to contact anyone other than forward all his emails between him and some women to his family aol acount he shares with his wife and say I thought he might want them seeing as he had them all stored in a folder buried about 7 folders deep and they seemed important and extreamly personal things I thought he would not want to loose.
wouldn't do that though...

yeah, I had my moments a few years back when my wife and I were seperated...
Both of us did actually, we laugh about it now and refused to ever let silence
between us be one of the causes for stupid mistakes...
