I removed Microsoft Office from my computer as I have switched to
OpenOffice.org. But then I realized that Outlook is part of Office and lost
my E-mail messages. (I did this once before when reinstalling all my
software. But I did not learn from the experience.)

Can anyone tell me where the E-mail files are located? Did I delete them
with the rest of Office?

Thanks.

They are *.pst files search to include hidden. By default located in
Documents & Settings folder grouping.
The files are not removed when uninstalling Office. You can of course do a
custom install of Office to install only OL.
 
By default it's loaded to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Look for the file named Outlook.pst, it's the only file you will need :-)
 
Yes, there it was, deeply embedded within C:\Documents and Settings\...

I did install Outlook only, and my messages all displayed. I saved them in a
text file.

Thanks for your help.
 
Right. Thanks.
