I was poking around my AOM folder, in the "Users" folder, and saw a neat little file with one of my use names from the game "Jason" with the file extension ".msrating.dll-3001". I have no idea, i just know it has the nice windows puzzle piece and I was going to try and see if I could open it up and look at it. Suprise! Outlook pops up and wants to know if i want to configure it. Of course not, why would I want to do that? So i shut it down. Weird. Next time I try and start up Outlook to check my email- Suprise again! YOu have a nice clean slate. Its like Im on a fresh install here, my address book, my messages, inbox, everything is wiped out. Watch where you double click

You're lucky
When I double-clicked, it made me do weird stuff and in the end my IE had a new security thing on it and it was a pain to disable it(well not really, but quite annoying).
You should be able to Import your old stuff back in, just do a file, import and look for your old identity...
sorry I don't have more specifics

hmmm.. thanks for the warning...
I guess I should make a backup of all the mails on the outlook, coz I know I would be fiddling around. If not this file, then some other might do some dirty trick on it
