The problem is that any .OST file he may find is useless without the
original profile used to create it unless he feels like spending a
substantial sum of money on a third party application to recover the data.
Such applications exist, but buddy, they ain't cheap! If, OTOH, he still
has the original profile, he can launch Outlook in Offline mode and copy
everything into a .PST file

try:
docs and settings
username
local settings
app data
microsoft
outlook
what do you see in there?
with any luck you might even see an outlook .ost file if there was offline
caching turned on for the prior exchange profile.

the calendar and contacts (along with your mail, notes, tasks) are in
the
mailbox or pst. Account configuration is in the profile. Are you joining
a
new company? if so, as soon as you delete your old profile, you lost the
ability to access everything stored on the old server - you need to
export
to a pst first.
