Hello,

I want to find the location of the mail data on my harddrive. I have
no clue where to look or what to look for. Can anyone help out??

Thanks
 
Assuming you Microsoft Outlook and not Outlook Express, then look for files
with the following extensions.

*.PST - Stores messages, contacts, calendar, tasks, journal, .etc.
*.PAB - Personal Address Book (used primarily by Outlook 97/98, but later
versions do support it)

Location tends to vary based on Operating System and Language. Best advice
is to use Windows Explorer to search for them. (Don't forget to configure
Windows Explorer to show all hidden/system files and if using Windows XP,
make sure you configure the search to look in/for hidden/system files and
directories.)
