You can search your computer for your PST file that Outlook was using.
When
you know where it's located on your computer, in Outlook, go to File -
Import/Export. Choose Import from a file. Browse to where the file is
stored. And the rest should just be defaults. Good luck.

My Outlook was unstable - so I reconfigured it in an attempt to make it
functional. However, this simply reinstalled Outlook and wiped out all
my old
emails. How can I recover these emails? I have not shut down my computer
since. Please help! thanks
