Default keeping emails

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

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.
