Copy your .pst file - it contains all of your OUtlook data.

M, i found several, including an archive, one large and one small.

do i import one of these into my current outlook and not allow duplicates?

i would rather import it to a separate personal folder and check to see what
i hve, is this possible?

TIA, pjl

Dont Import, if required copy them to some location on your current hd, eg
My Documents, then in outlook, File>Open>Data file
