Lost all Outlook e-mail after crash and reset to factory. How to restore e-mail?

Question

Firefox crashed and offered to reset my computer keeping my current tabs. I didn't think it would erase all of my Outlook inbox e-mail and all the e-mail stored in my folders. I tried Outlook recovery, but could not get it back. Is all lost forever?

Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no
proxy, first use '''No Proxy.''' If there is a problem, then try '''System Proxy.'''
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Are you using the stand-alone Outlook program, or the online version at mail.live.com?

Windows Live Mail is part of '''[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials Windows Live Essentials]'''
and runs separately from the browsers.
