How to I access my Outlook 2003 mail in Windows 7?

[sonoitadeb]

My new computer has the Windows 7 OS. I have a second HD from my old computer
installed in the new computer. It ran Windows XP and I used Outlook 2003. How
can I get all the data from Outlook 2003 to the hard drive with the Windows 7
OS?

How to backup and restore Outlook

There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with
regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

The main points to note:
1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one
version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with
Outlook closed.

2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into
(for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File
within Outlook.
