So I thought... I'll uninstall Outlook while the PST recovery program runs,
save the recovered PST and then re-enable Outlook afterwards. No dice.
Outlook had to be enabled on the PC for the recovery program to save. I
proceeded to re-enable/re-install Outlook and gave up on the PST file - I
had
an uncorrupted version from my old PC which I am using - But since my
un-install/re-install of Outlook the 'Accounts' option isn't on the tools
tab
and I can't seem to get it to show up there. I have 'services' instead and
that shows "the following information services are set up for this profile:"

This means that before, you had Outlook installed in Internet Mail Only mode
(which has the Accounts menu ite,) and now you have it installed in
Corporate/Workgroup mode, which has the Services item instead. If you have
up-to-date service packs for Outlook, either mode can work for Internet mail.
I prefer C/W mode.

"Archive Folders" and there is an option to add internet mail services.
Upon
attempting to add my accounts I recieve a message stating that "An Account
already exists with thtis name. Please enter a unique friendly name." So
it
seems the accounts are there but I cannot for the life of me figure out how
to get outlook to function just with the Internet Mail option for sending
and
receiving. Please ask me any questions that may clarify as I would dearly
like to resume functionality of my Outlook. My deepest thanks to anyone who
can assist!

Start with a clean mail profile using the Mail applet in Control Panel.
