MS Outlook 2003--How do I find directory where emails stored?

[Chris]

I had a problem with my main hard disk, so I moved it external, but now can't
run Outlook from it. How do I find the directory with the messages so I can
move them to a new computer, or import them? What is the file name extension
to search for?

Thank you

Search for *.pst. It's normally a hidden file so you need to add that to
your search parameters...
