Default Where are my saved email folders?

I just reformatted my hard drive and was able to import my address book and
inbox from the backups I made. But the folders containing old saved email
did not come through. I wonder if maybe I didn't check the "include
subfolders" when I backed up the .pst file for the last time. If that's it,
I do have a previous backup I could use, but don't know where to find it on
that ghost copy of my C: drive. Any ideas?

Many thanks!

All your data will be in one or more .pst files. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm for default file locations. You may need to search, though, since a .pst file can be anywhere.

Choose File | Open | Outlook Data File to open each .pst file that you have in Outlook. Switch the navigation pane view to the Folder List, and you'll be able to see the entire contents of each .pst file. If you didn't put the data in the file, there

For future reference, the way to back up a .pst file is to copy the entire file, not to export.
