Hi

I just upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outook 2002 and seem to have lost all
my old emails, address books, and contacts. Were they archived and can I can
them back so that I can access them.

I was surprised this happened.

Hi again

OK, I did find the Personal Folders with all my info in them...thank goodness.
There are now 2 contacts folders, 2 inboxes, etc. One is under "Personal
Folders", and one is under "Outlook Today. If I try to send a new email I can
not click on "To" and access my contacts. Now I need to ask how do I
integrate everything so I can use it?

Thanks again,
amaldon

How did you do this upgrade?
Upgrades never touch your data files. Just look for you Outlook data file
and open it.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
