Sounds to me like you were using a PST (Personal Folders file) as your
default delivery location but created a new profile with Exchange as your
default delivery location and didn't include the PST in the profile.

Open Control Panel's Mail applet and examine the properties of your mail
profile. Also, search your hard drive for all files whith type ".pst",
making sure you enable hidden files and folders. Reply here with the list
of services you have defined in the profile, the locations of any PSTs, and
the version of Outlook you're using. Someone should be able to help you
then.
