If you were using Personal Folders then do START | Search | Find Files and
Folders and enter "*.pst" (without the quotation marks).
The resulting file should be larger than 32K and the date stamp should be
reasonable in comparison with your most recent use of your email. You will
need to copy this file to your new PC and then set it up as a Personal
Folders service, either by doing an Add or by renaming it to replace your new
pst
