I don't recall the name of the tool, but there was a tool what would log everything done during a logon process, you could google that.
Also, you could manually load their registry and look at the autorun options.

Anything in the event log?
Which logs should I be looking for, nothing stands out to me as an issue here.

Backup and then blow the user profile away. No use trying to recover it.

Sadly, in the OP he said that wasn't really an option.

Right... but that's the problem. It sounds like a corrupt user profile, you really can't login to it in its current state.
You can change the state via the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileListThere should be two registry keys with the same name, except one has a .bak after it. Change the one without to .backup and remove .bak. Restart the machine. That should get you back into the profile... but no guarantees it won't just corrupt again as soon as you try to login.

Yeah not an option. We're looking for emails that may still be held in the local user profile, the user account was disabled on AD (which then marks the email account for deletion on office365) after 30 days.
So if there is any chance that I can get into this account and see what the mailbox still has cached would be critical.
Of course the mailbox matter is a different issue entirely that I need to address.

Can you just browse the local folders? There should be an outlook cache file in the users directory.

No, no .bak registry for the account.
The employee's registry file is there though.

Tried looking for it, and I don't see any of the files I need.
Looking for a local cache of outlook, so a PST or OST file.

Ok now with more information, this ^ why not browse for the Outlook cache file?

Hmm, that's interesting. Have a look at scheduled tasks on that machine. Is there anything running at user login?

Then, unfortunately, it seems like local caching was turned off. If the cache was on you would see both PST and OST files.

Right, if the files aren't there, then they just aren't there.

Yeah and a litigation hold or migrating the mailbox to a shared mailbox would've been all that is needed.
