Default Installing old mail files

Hi

I have Office XP, my PC crashed and I had to format and reinstall
everything, I had a copy of most of the hard drive, is there a way I can
bring the mail from the copy to the new install?

Where is the mail kept?

thanks

Daniel


Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express,

1) for OE, open OE, check "Tools"-"Options"-"Maintenance" in the
middle, there is "Store Folder". Just copy the dbx files, restart OE.
2) for Outlook, open Outlook, check "File"-"Data File Management", also
copy pst files out. In new Outlook, after first open, close it, delete
the original pst file created, re-open Outlook, it said pst missing,
then you give a new path, restart Outlook, it should be ok.
