[Sven Claasen]

In which directory are all emails, contacts and settings stored for Outlook 2003 (not: Outloook Express) ?

Is this directory somewhere mentioned inside Outlook ?
I did not found a setting resp. entryfield somewhere in the option or preferences in Outlook.

In Outlook, right-click on the Personal Folders file on the left-hand
pane, and select Properties. Click 'Advanced' and you will see the full
path and file name in the Filename field.

I think you'll find it in the .ost file

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost

Hi,

default:
Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

All in one ;-)

If your mailbox is on a server and you run in Cached Exchange mode or Offline
mode, the OST is just an offline copy of everything in your (server-side)
mailbox. The mailbox is still the primary store.

If you're not running against a mailbox on a server, then you wouldn't have
an OST file.

Emails, contacts, calendar etc. are stored in a pst-file that is usually
stored in the (hidden) folder

C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application
Datas\Microsoft\Outlook

and settings stored for Outlook 2003?

There are some places where settings are stored. Which settings
concretely?

Sorry, I read the posting in microsoft.public.outlook. Therefore I
didn't experienced that the question is already answered.

Yes. They are all in one file, by default outlook.pst.

I did not found a setting resp. entryfield somewhere in the option or
preferences in Outlook.

Try looking under File, Data File Management. The name location of the PST
file is shown there.

You can also find this via Control Panel, Mail, in the profile settings.
