lost emails

Hi, this is an interesting one (i think). I am contracted to a dpt, when i
arrived i was directed to use a drive to store my .pst files on. Turns out it
was the wrong drive as it has limited capacity. I have been dragging emails
into these folders for the last 6 weeks not knowing that they were not
sticking, as the drive is full!!! When i drag them there i can see them, but
when i restart outlook they are gone. I received no warning etc, but now i
cannot find 6 weeks of emails. The destination drive has since been
reconfigured, but i still do not have those 6 weeks of emails. This is far
from ideal.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

What you describe would indicate that the e-mails no longer exist.

Unless you (or the corp) made a backup, you won't be able to recover the
missing messages.
