where are my emails stored

Outlook473
i recently did a system restore and had to reinstall outlook. when i did, i

wanted to migrate my old outlook emails, calendar, etc... so i moved the

outlook.pst file from the old user profile on my computer so that my main

outlook profile was the one that i actually use. when i re-set up my email

accounts, they worked and said they were downloading emails, but i cant find

where they're downloading to. i have done a search to no avail.



anyone?

Re:where are my emails stored

i know where to find my pst files. my problem is that i have my email

accounts configured to send them to a particular pst but they dont go into

the inbox. i watch the details saying that its receiving the messages but

they are nowhere to be found.



what makes matters worse is that when i set up the account, i forgot to

check the box that says to leave a copy on the server and now i cant access

those emails at all.
