Where are my files

[Guest]

I needed to re-install my PC yesterday. I exported my Outlook files to a .pst
file, but when I tried to pull them back in it looks like the export failed.

I did however copy my user directory to another pc on the network.

What files do I need to get my sent , received and contacts data back and in
what directory do they reside?

Never export data to back it up. Just copy and use your data file.
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:
