Default Outlook XP email file name/location
I'm about to format my old PC. I need to backup the file that contains all of my e-mails within Office XP. What is the name of the file, and where is it located? Thanks in advance!

File > Data File Management.

I think the default location would be c:\documents and settings\%user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
