Ok so my PC died this week had to build a new one, and I thought I archived my emails from outlook but it only did one folder, I have my old hard drive and I can access it but not boot up to it. Is there a way to pull all my emails from it?

The only .pst file i found on the old drive was the archive i made, do you think when i installed office on the new drive it screwed it all up?

should have just overwritten it.

Let me see what else I did when I moved all my mail, folders, and addresses over to my new system.

If you're using outlook express, look for the files named *.dbx

For Outlook, its the .pst file.

I found a backup tool that might or might not help.

Maybe Kranar can lend some advice since he's a Microsoft guy.
