Reinstalling Outlook

[BDux82]

Recently, the MS Office applications have started displaying a message that
my copy of MS Office is not genuine. Trying to resolve this problem, I am
planning to uninstall and reinstall my Office Suite.

I know where Word, Excel, Access, etc. keep their files, but I am not
familiar with the way Outlook stores my email, so I have a number of
questions.

1. Where does Outlook store my email?
2. Is there a particular extension I should look for an back up before I
start the uninstall and reinstall process?
3. After I reinstall Outlook, how do restore the emails to my new
installation?
