Most likely search for *.pst.
Outlook files are stored wherever you tell them to be stored.

The default location differs slightly by Outlook version and Windows
version.  By default:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Or
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook 
Or perhaps
C:\winnt\profiles\<Username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Outlook accessing a mail server using POP or IMAP stores everything in a
personal folders file with the extension .pst.  Depending on version and
config, you may also have a .pab (personal address book) and a .rwz (rules
wizard file).

Does anyone know where Microsoft stores the Outlook e-mail and Calendar
files?

We have a client whose hard disk will not boot for whatever reason.  We can
access the drive just fine from another bootable drive.  We want to pull the
files containing his e-mail records and his Calendar.  Since we can't run
Outlook from the system as it is on the secondary drive in this
configuration and MS insists it is on the primary the only chance (we
think) is to pull the actual data files used by MS Outlook.

I have tried a search of the entire drive looking for the client e-mail
address and it yielded nothing.  Thinking I could find it if I put some
stuff in my own copy of Outlook (which I never use) I downloaded the week's
spam and viruses collected on my qwest.net account from bigfoot.  253
messages.  You would think a search for  a specific text string would turn
up the location.  Not a chance.  So I hope there is a clever chap here with
sufficient Outlook experience.
