I recently removed an email account from Outlook 2007, but
unfortunately there were a bunch of contacts stored in the Outlook
folder associated with that account, and now the contacts are missed.

The deleted account was from a MS Exchange server. I doubt there is
a local backup of the contacts/other Outlook data.

So, my questions a
-Is there any way to retreive the contacts?

If the OST associated with the Exchaneg account still resides on disk, you
can purchase an OST to PST converter.

-Assuming the contacts are in a .pst file, what's the likelyhood the
.pst is still around after having removed the account from Outlook?

Exchange accounts don't use PSTs.

-Are the contacts stored on the server in any way? If I restore the
Exchange account in Outlook (connect to the Exchange server) is there
any chance the contacts will be restored?

Yes and yes. If you create the account in Outlook again and connect to the
server, the data should still be in the mailbox. You can then move the data
to a PST or you can export the mailbox on the Exchange server itself with an
Exchange tool. I believe Exmerge can do it.
