All prior Windows live mail lost after profile corruption

I know this is slightly off topic, but I do not have a Windows Live Mail
newsgroup in my list of available ones.

I have been recovering a problem on my neighbours PC where her user profile
got corrupted and created a temporary one in its place for her to use. I
have managed to get most of her stuff back by creating a new account for her
and moving the 'my documents' from her old account to the new.

I have just about everything back to normal except for one thing - I cannot
find any of her old Windows Live Mail messages.

I cannot access her profile folder in c:\documents and settings as it is a
zero size folder and tells me that access is denied. Even via the XP
Administrator account I cannot find anything inside it.

Looking in the TEMP folder in the docs and settings folder, there is nothing
present there in the Windows Live folder either.

Am I missing a trick here, or is it still possible to retrieve her old mail
messages from somewhere.

TIA

Martin

The newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop is available,
as you suggest, on msnews.microsoft.com, but also on other free news
servers like news.eternal-september.org
