I am not sure, but I think that a subfolder of my In Box archived and all
mails are lost. Can not find them in the *.pst file. Is that possible?

They should still be in your configured archive file then.
To look up your default archive file location go to;
Tools-> Options-> tab Other-> button AutoArchive...

Then use File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... to browse to the location of
your archive pst-file to connect it to Outlook.

Did that already. Searched all *.pst files on my drives too. What might have
hapened is that I use briefcase on a usb drive to back-up. At home I have a
briefcase on a computer that synchronizes with the usb drive. I might have
overwriten the archive.pst. Though I doubt that, because at home Outlook is
not set to auto archive and the archive.pst is not completely empty (only the
subfolders). Well any way I found on an old computer the files I needed. But
be warned that this archiving is not without risk.
