Restoring Outlook Exchange Emails and Settings?

[AB]

I have a problem. My OS (Win2K) crashed and I had to reinstall. The problem is that I had Outlook installed which was connected to an Exchange Server for work. I had alot of important emails there that were saved. Since I reinstalled Windows, I had to reinstall Office as well. Now I want to restore those emails and email settings for Outlook but I don't know how. Can someone help? All of the data including the installed folders are still intact from my previous installation. So meaning, I can access my Outlook directory from my previous installation. Is there a way for me to get back my configurations? I really need to because I don't remember the settings. More importantly I need to get back the email messages that were saved. Please help. Thanks.
