OE 6 Lost all folders and Messages after deleting unused account

Hi

I have deleted an unused user account on XP. I set it up for my girlfriend
but she just used my account so I have deleted it this morning. However when
I have logged on to my account all of the folders and messages I had in OE6
have dissappeared. My contacts remained though. Is there any way of
recovering these messages/folders and why has this happened?

Did you use the FAST (Files and Settings Transfer Wizard) to save the files
before deleting the user account? Or just click on the "Keep files" option
when deleting?

You might want to review the info in this KB article but it's possible that
you deleted the info from the mail accounts when you deleted the user
account:

User Data Is Missing After You Delete a User Account:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;313877

"When you choose to delete a user account in the User Accounts tool in
Control Panel, you receive the following prompt:
Do you want to keep User's files?
Before you delete User's account, Windows can automatically save the
contents of User's desktop and My Documents folder to a new folder called
User on your desktop. However, Windows cannot save User's e-mail messages,
Internet favorites, and other settings. "
