I am running Windows Vista and using Outlook 2007. I had a corrupted Windows
profile and had to create a new Windows user profile. Can someone tell me how
to find my Outlook email and settings and all files and folders in my old
profile and move it to my new profile? Thanks for your help

All your Outlook data is contained in the pst file (by default called
Outlook.pst).
The default location is C:/Users/Application
Data/Local/Microsoft/Outlook

Copy the pst file to your new profile (do NOT paste it into the default
location but into your Documents folder) then open Outlook and do
File-Open-Outlook Data file and navigate to where you put it.
You can then set it as the default delivery location.

The email account settings are contained in the registry - just
re-create the account in the new instance of Outlook.
