Migrate Outlook 2003 files from XP to Vista

I used the File Transfer Wizard on XP to backup all my files onto an
external hard drive. I then did a clean install of Vista on the same
machine. As far as I can tell all my files and setting transferred to
\OldFiles on the new machine except my Outlook files. What to do?

For what mail account type?
If a POP3 account and you didn't backup your pst-file then there isn't much
that you can do.

It was an IMAP account. I did not back up the pst because I thought the
Files & Settings Wizard would do that.

An IMAP account is stored server side so there is no need to back up the
pst-file. Simply reconnect to the IMAP account.
