My Outlook PersonalFolders.pst file Disappeared Overnight
When I opened Outlook this morning I got pretty much a blank screen, no mailbox, no messages at all. It took me little time to discover that my ThisPC/Documents/Outlook/PersonalFolders.pst file was gone. I did find a ThisPC/Documents/OutlookFiles/PersonalFolders2.pst file that appeared to be a backup, right date (today), and right size (884,881KB). But Outlook won't load that file, I still see no folders and no messages.
I have no idea how this happened, everything was fine last night. Is there any way to get Outlook to open that backup file?

Office 365 - Offcat shows: Office Professional Hybrid 2007 (Retail/OEM edition) apparently because I also purchased and installed Visio. Offcat also shows Outlook as 2016 version.
