daptop mother board crashes yesterday, was able to have the hard drive
downloaded to external hard drive. I am trying to import the mail items from
the external hard drive onto a new desktop but can't seem to locate the old
mail items. Any body know where to find thems?
 
searched for .pst files. nothing came up. I never backed up my inboxes to
..pst files before. Doesn't outlook save these messages somewhere so I can
retrieve them?

Do not listen to anyone who tells you to import. You will lose data that
way. Instead just reuse the original PST.

Your Inbox, Outbox, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, and all other Outlook item
data are always kept in a PST. Backup has nothing to do with it. That PST
is usually in a hidden folder so unless you enable viewing hiddern files and
folders you won't see them.
