Locating old outlook mails

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone, merry xmas to all.

i've recently had computer problems, what i did was installed a fresh copy onto my computer and the window.old was saved and in a file on my desktop. it holds all my files from the previous window version. i'm trying to locate my old outlook mails or transfer that outlook mails from the window.old to the newly install window. how would i find those mails?


thanks all. hope that makes sense.

The files are stored in a default location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user ID\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

Note:
user ID
Indicates that you insert your user ID (e.g. John/Jane)



Hope this helps
