as far as i know outlook doesnt store emails folders in diff. files, they all are stored under one .pst file of root folder i.e. personal folders. So to findout path of the same...just right click on it (Personal Folders), select properties click on button "Advanced" The path is provided in option Filename Regards Deep <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunately, I can't find out that way. My system was just recently reinstalled. (Running w2k, amd 2400) I backed up my information on a different hard drive, so I need to know how I can access all my old emails from Microsoft Outlook. If anyone can please help, I'd appreciate it.
