I installed a new version of Outlook, how do I get the old mail ?

[Mary]

I had mail saved in my Drafts folder and installed Microsoft Office and I
automatically overrode my previous version of Outlook. How can I get back to
my older folders to retrieve this information as well as my Address Book?
Thanks for any help!

Normally when you upgrade Outlook it keeps the same data that the previous
version was using. What version did you previously have and what version did
you upgrade to?
