Retrieving email from another Hard Drive
 

Hi

I had a problem with my hard drive and cannot boot into my Vista OS. I have
started afresh with a new HDD and all is well. Unfortunately my emails are
stored on the other drive and I really need to get them loaded into Outlook
on my setup?

Is this possible, I just need to get the inbox across as nothing else is
that important. I am not sure which folder is used to store the emails?

All help appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Retrieving email from another Hard Drive
 

The default Vista location for the outlook data files is
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outloo k\

You would probably have to take ownership of the folder/file - see Vista
help
Then copy to your Documents folder, and within Outlook, FileOpenData
File.......browse to the file
Do NOT copy the file to the default location and overwrite any existing data
