Hi - i had to re-install outlook, and i need to have
access to my mail i saved in that copy. i did not format
anything, and i installed with a different user name.
but i am having a hard time finding the folder with the
saved email.
does anyone know how i can find that folder, and how i
can re-store it so i can access the old email ?

Thanks in advance

I am not sure, but if you reinstalled outlook it may or
may not have wiped out your old mail. I am guessing not.
Anyway click start, go up to find, search files & folders,
then search for *.pst If you still have the old you will
have more than one. Then just take the oldest one cut &
paste it into the file of the new one to add it to it.
Hope this helps & makes sense. I have done it before so
if you need more info let me know.
 
Look here for all the information you need on backup and restoration of
Outlook data:
