Where are my personal folders?

[kartracer]

I use Outlook to access gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Mail.

I had set up some personal folders to organize mail from each account.

So in the folder list, something like:

gmail
inbox
sent
etc

Hotmail
inbox
sent
etc

Yahoo
inbox
sent
etc

Folder A
Folder B
Folder C
etc.

After a Winblows moment I had to reinstall.

Imported the gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo folders

Cannot find folder A, B, C, etc.

Where might they be?

were they called Personal Folders?

If so they are PST files so do a search on your pc for .PST files i suspect they will be in your profile directory which will start at c:\users\??

I think the top-level folder was called Personal in Outlook with A, B, C, etc below.

I searched the drive for *.pst and in c:\user\appdata\local\microsot\outlook (hidden files and folders) found only gmail etc. which are Outlook Data File,

The personal folders must be there somewhere as everything from the old install was backed up.
