Outlook - Outlook .tmp file

Outlook 2007 crashed and shut-down. When I tried to re-open it, one of my .=
pst files was not there. I looked in the folder where I have my .pst files, =
and the one that will not open is showing as a .tmp file. The .pst file is 0 b=
ytes in size, but the .tmp file looks as though it is the right size.  I havee=
tried loading the .tmp file directly into Outlook, but that does not work. =
I have tried renaming the .tmp as a .pst, and loading that. That does not work=
either. I have even tried running it through ScanPST, but this tells me that=
the file is not a valid .pst file.

So, it is a simple question.  Can I get the file, and subsequently my e-mail=
s back?

Dear Duncan,



The .tmp file automatically created when you are working with Outlook. It is just a copy of PST file which stores data temporary. In case your outlook got crashed due to any error then it is possible that you may lose the data saved in .tmp and .pst file. Your PST file shows 0 bit data size it means your data is completely lost form PST file. So there is no chance to recover email from PST file.



But if you are working with Exchange Server, than you have option to recover email from OST file So try to find OST file at this location:



Windows 7 and Windows Vista drive:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

Windows XP drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
