New Computer; need old Outlook files

[Lili]

Hello there.. I had so many problems with my old computer that I finally
bought, and just received, my new one.

I installed Outlook 2000 on my new computer and since I hadn't backed up my
pst file in awhile, was hoping that I could access/run the Outlook executable
from my old hard drive, launch the program with old e-mail etc. and whala..
then make pst file which I would import to my new computer.

Alas, when I run Outlook, regardless of which drive I launch the program
from, it launches the new one, doesn't recognize the "old" outlook. Is there
information from my old hard drive that I can access/copy to my new 'puter
that will automatically pull up my old outlook? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Der Lili,

search on the your old hard disk for *.PST files. Outlook save all
information like emails, contacts etc in PST files.

After you know the path of the PST you could open it in Outlook under
File/open/Personal Folders(.pst).

You can also move the PST files from the old Hard Disk to the new one.
