Access to old emails from a different computer (MS Outlook 2003)

Hello,

I was using MS Outlook 2003 with my old laptop computer. Now It's gone :sad: but I have its HardDisk. Now, thanks to an IDE to USB converter, I have access to all those old documents from another computer. I will store important files to another computer and then I will use the emptied HardDisk as a Back Up storage unit. :idea:

Now I want to reach my old Outlook inbox but i don't know how to do it. The old HardDisk is here as is. I mean not even a single document was erased. I'll erase all the files manually after I save/store some important files to another computer. The problem is, I don't know where to find my old emails and how to view them in this new computer's MS Outlook. :sad:

I'd be very happy if you can kindly help.

Thanks in advance.

Best!

Ender

Use the Windows 'Search' function to locate the relevent folders on your old hard drive and on your new system.

I have a similar problem. I lost all my emails when my system crashed but I have backups. Problem is I dont know how to locate the old emails and move them into my current folders. I was told that they were in a IMAC folder or something like that. I have searched my old backups for .pst extensions etc and tried to move them into my current outlook 2003 but nothing happens. I did manage to restore my contacts but not my email folders or emails which I really really need. I am using a utility called acronis 10. I dont want to do a full restore because I am concerned about contaminating drivers I have installed etc.

Any ideas? PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE
