I had exchange folders on my computer and it crashed. I reinstalled windows and set up outlook. Now only the inbox apprears and all my folders(which were 99% of my emails) are lost. Can they be found?

Where You keep messages? In *.pst files?

They wouldn't be affected by the reinstallation ot the O/S. If you were keeping your me-mail in *.PST files, those reside on your machine, not on the Exchange server. If you erased your harddrive when you reinstalled the O/S then the files are gone unless you have a backup of them. If you didn't reformat the partition then the *.PST files are still in the same file system directory they were in before you reinstalled the software. You just need to add them to the new Outlook profile. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
