Hi folks...
I am giving Outlook a second chance. One feature of Thunderbird and Netscape that I really like is the Local Folders. Is there a similar method in Outlook to have all my files (emails and address books, for example) in a folder tree in My Documents? I don't need the program files nor preferences. just the files that would be hard/impossible to replace. Thanks in advance for any tips. John |

You can store your mail in a local PST file. The items aren't visible
outside of Outlook but they are stored locally "JohnnyJomp" wrote in message ... Hi folks... I am giving Outlook a second chance.

First question is... where is Outlook storing your mail now?

That is a good question... in the default location, I think. I *may* have
changed the installation folder to "Office XP" to distinguish it from my Offce 2000 installation.

Click FIleData File Management and look where your PST resides. The installation location for Outlook itself has no bearing on that. -- Brian Tillman |
