Go to Start\Search, and type in *.pst, that will take you
to the folder.

If it's any good, then it ought to find your pst file automatically. the
default location is
C:\Documents and Settings\{your user name}\Local settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

It's the data file OL uses. OL doesn't do this if you sort by name,
address?

You did try to look for help / support yourself? It's not as though
there isn't any. 1st place is Microsoft OL support ans OL/Office
newsgroups. File / Export comes to mind as a firtst try you should have
done.

Find something that reads pst files, use www.google.com

Frequently asked questions
Q1:
I am looking for a program that can retrieve contacts and mails from
Outlook 2000 (*.PST files) into Outlook Express 6.0. This is not
possible - according to Microsoft - unless I save these files as
comma-separated-values (*.CSV).


Also check past posts in 24HSHD, for advice on checking past posts in
24HSHD for sites that have been mentioned before in posts in 24HSHD.
http://groups.google.com/group/24hou...elpdesk/topics

Look for OL MVP sites,
http://www.howto-outlook.com/index.html

Then there is most likely, MS OL communities sites / export blogs. Try
looking around

It is a database file using a proprietary format by Microsoft. So just
what "program" do you have to eliminate duplicates from the PST file?
And why doesn't this program know how to do a search on "*.pst" to find
the file which is also something you could do yourself?

There aren't separate files or folders (as seen in Outlook for the tree
list of folders and items inside each one). That's just to represent
the hierarchy of the data inside the PST (personal storage) file.

If you want to get rid of duplicates, you'll have to find a 3rd party
plug-in for Outlook to do so, or write one yourself (but then you didn't
ask about how to do a plug-in so you don't know how to do that, either).
