Hi

I had a problem with my hard drive and cannot boot into my Vista OS. I have
started afresh with a new HDD and all is well. Unfortunately my emails are
stored on the other drive and I really need to get them loaded into Outlook
on my setup?

Is this possible, I just need to get the inbox across as nothing else is
that important. I am not sure which folder is used to store the emails?

All help appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
 
The default Vista location for the outlook data files is
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\

You would probably have to take ownership of the folder/file - see Vista
help
Then copy to your Documents folder, and within Outlook, File>Open>Data
File.......browse to the file
Do NOT copy the file to the default location and overwrite any existing data
file
