Where are the messages stored?

[xwdpuzzler]

I just had my computer's HD reformated and I am in the process of putting
everything back on it. I have a backup copy of my HD before the reformating
and I want to put my old messages back in outlook from my copy. How and
where would I start to look for these messages.

Thanks

search for *.pst and *.ost

Copy your whole Outlook pst file to the hard drive and open it by selecting
File, Open Outlook Data File on the menu. Do not overwrite the new Outlook
pst file. Put the backup in a diff folder.
