Message Storage Location

Hi,

Can you please tell me where Outlook messages are stored
on a hard drive. The computer died, and we took the hard
drive from the dead computer and plugged it into another
computer. Now we're trying to get the messages copied
over to the new computer from the old hard drive. Any
ideas? TIA!

Assuming the operating system that was in use is Windows 2000/XP, try one of
the following locations.

\documents and settings\<userid>\application data\microsoft\outlook
\documents and settings\<userid>\local settings\application
data\microsoft\outlook

"application data" and "local settings" are hidden/system directories. you
will need to configured windows explorer to show you these types of
folders/files.
