Outlook 2007 emails

[hellarda]

Hi,

i had to send my HDD back to OC because it was clicking etc. sent me a replacement fine all good.

before i sent it off, i copied the contents of the whole disk across to another disk i had.

then when i got the new HDD, installed windows and installed office, now somehow i need to get back all the emails/folders/contacts that i had in outlook before. is there a way to do this? i have all the appdata from my user etc

cheers

See here for the default locations.

Once you find your PST you can either redirect Outlook to use it, or (a more simple way) - just import everything from that PST into your current one.

EDIT: Bare in mind, using the enviroment variables like %appdata% %userprofile% will bring up the locations for the currently logged in user (i.e. your new account) - so you'll have to manually browse to the relevant directories on the other disk.
