Are My Folders & E-mails Lost Forever??

[Samitis]

Hi all!

I'm new to these forums. Love it so far.

Here's my problem:

I was running Outlook 2000 in Win 2000 Pro. My motherboead fried and I decided to upgrade to a new PC. I had my old (3gb) HD put into the new system as a slave drive so that I could retrieve some data. I reinstaled Outlook 2000 onto the new HD using Win 98 SE.

I would like to import my old folders and e-mails into the new install of Outlook. Is this possible? I tried the import function but cannot seem to find any folder on the old drive where Outlook was storing my e-mail.

Can this be done? Or are my e-mails that were in the inbox lost forever?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Sam D.Text😕

find up *.pst files and copy those over to the same directory, then when you start oe2k again, it'll be there.

Thanks Alpha, but...

I only wish it were that easy. A search for *pst turns up nothing. Would it be anywhere else? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
