It was a new windows account. I tried t move my outook files from the old
account to the new one, but the new account would not recognize the older
ost
file, since it was created with a prior windows account. Outlook forced me
to
create a new ost file.

The old OST doesn't contain anything of interest if you're using Exchange.
The Exchange mailbox should contain all the data and the new Outlook account
should see it. If you have a new Exchange account as well, then the Exchange
admins should move the contents of the old mailbox to your current mailbox.
