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). William Lefkovics Tech-Editor, Wiley Publishing Outlook2003 Bible -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Orin Wells Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 8:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
