Missing files + folders after importing pst file

Due to my hard drive crash I had to reinstall Outlook 2007. I had luckily my
Outlook.pst file saved on another drive. I tried importing the pst file, but
somehow no Inbox emails and subfolders and Sent files were imported. Only a
few deleted items files. Calendars, Contacts and Notes imported fine. After
that I noticed that the original file date has been changed, but the folder
size is still 361 MB. I tried copying and replacing the PST file in my
profile but the file looks the same and the same as above are missing. When I
check folder size in Outlook it is small.

When I run scanpst.exe on my 361 MB file it lists all folders and over 1000
emails which seems to be correct for my original file and says there is no
error.

I ran Stellar Phoenix PST Repair tool demo scan and it was able to see all
emails and folders. But to be able to recover them completely through
Stellar Phoenix I would have to pay $129.

Is there a way to recover those emails without having to buy this software?
Any free tools?

I know I screwed by trying to import and should have just copied it over,
but what happened is already done.

Thanks for any help.
