Default Trying to recover outlook email files after OS failure.

My Operating System became corrupted on my PC - Office 2003 was loaded on the
same drive. I installed a new primary drive and moved the old drive to a
slave location. File structure is mostly accessible.

Where are the Outlook Personal Folders and Contact list stored in Outlook
2003? I am hoping that I can restore all my archived emails and my active
contacts.

Hi

It should be in "documents & seetings\user name\local settings\application
data\microsoft\outlook" folder.You will need to import old personal folder's
data to your current drive i.e where your O/S is installed currently.

I am unable to locate either a local settings or application settings folder.
I seem to remember these folders from Outlook 2000, but not 2003. I am
running Office / Outlook 2003.

I've been staring at this thing too long today. Forgot I hadn't turned on
hidden and system files. Once that was on I found the folder and am back up.

Thank you!!

Open outlook, go to file - import & export - select import form another
program or file - say next - select personal folder file (.pst) - say next -
browse to the location where your old .pst file is located - say next -
select whatever you want to export.

Exporting to or importing from a PST is ill-advised.

Hi Brian,

Can you tell me why importing & exporting is ill-advised.
