59960 2002-07-04 22:25:00 I recently uninstalled Microsoft Office 2000, and Microsoft Outlook went with it, which is fine, but how do i find all the emails, so i can put them on another computer?

Has all the emails been deleted with the uninstall, or can i get them back?


Thanks

If its any consolation :-( I lost everything on my computer last week (including all my business stuff) which I hadn't backed up. I've been spinning out so much over it, I'm still giddy!

For windows 2000, it will be at C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
