Last month my hard drive was replaced and I didn't even
think about my email messages/address book. I have
access to my old hard drive.

Q: Can I import my old messages from my OLD hard drive
into Outlook on my NEW hard drive? What file/extension
am I looking for on my OLD hard drive? Can I just import
it into my NEW Outlook?

Thanks for the Help

You don't have to import. Look for a file on your old hard drive with a .pst
extension. You need to be able to see hidden files to do this. You just need
to copy the *.pst file onto your new hard drive, then open it in Outlook.

When you do copy, make sure you don't overwrite any existing PST file that
has the same name. It can lead to problems if you do.
