Microsoft Outlook

Just wanted to know how to keep all of my e-mails on my hard drive. I am currently upgradeing from an old Office Suite to the new one. I am concend about losing all of my impotant e-mails. I have been trying to put them to a disk for a while now but do not know how to do it.
Also, instead of removing my old Office, I might try to install the new version of Office on top of it. Hopefully it will let me do it this way.

As always-
Thanks,
Cob

 

You'll need to do an export of the .pst file. Save it on the drive, and then import it into the new Outlook product.

A tutorial can be found here:

While Dark Mage's suggestion is absolutely correct, I've found it much faster and more accurate to simply cut and paste the pst file in windows explorer.

Its located it C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Note that you will have to show hidden files and folders to see this directory.
