reinstalled, he had some old email in the folders that is
no longer there. I searched for pst files and there are
none.I renamed the outlook folder before I reinstalled but

The old messages and stuff shoudl be in a file called Microsoft User
Data which on my mac is under Documents. If you have a backup of that
file it should have all the stuff in. I am not sure whether when you
reinstalled Outlook a new folder will have bben recreated in whcih
case you will have to trash the new file and replace it with the one
from your back up
Good luck. Hope this works - it did for me
