Default Where else to find folders of emails on a computer?

Have you considered that the user may have saved each email as a .msg file
or even an .htm file? They could be stored anywhere on the computer.

We are using Outlook 2007 with Exchange server. We have a user who has

been
moving his emails off of the Exchange server to some folders he created or

by
Auto Archive feature in Outlook 2007. He basically drag and drop the

emails
from his Exchange server Inbox to his folders on the left side. The

question
is, where are all of these folders full of emails located on the local
computer? At first I thought it must have been the Auto Archive feature

that
kicks in every 14 days and created those folders for him to be able to

drag
and drop, but when I check the following location the archive.pst file

size
is very small.

C:\Documents and Settings\%your username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

The total folders of emails must be about 1 to 2GB in file size. Where

else
on the local machine could Outlook had put it?

Any help is much appreciated.

No need. The OST is simply a reflection of what's in the Exchange mailbox and
will be recreated to match when the account is created.
