The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

I've got a computer that the motherboard went south on and will not
boot. I bought a new computer but I need to get the Outlook files
off the old hard drive to put into the new computers Outlook program.
Can someone tell me where and what I'm looking for to be able to do
this? I've done a Google on it but all those results say to make a
backup of the old data, which I cannot do because that computer will
not boot. The drive is good as I have it conntcted to an old machine
and I can see all the files on that drive. I just need to know which
ones I need to move to the new comuter so Outlook will be like it was
on the old one. OH, and both computers have Office 2003 on them.

Any help?
