Where are the email folders located in Outlook?

I need to get my emails as plain text outsite of Outlook.





What folder are they into?





I looked in here:





C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office





But they are nowhere to be found, in what directory do they actually reside in?

Where are the email folders located in Outlook?
Outlook uses a main file that is only accessible by Outlook. You can not extract email from that file. To find that file open Outlook, under the File menu click on Data File Management. Once that window opens highlight your file and click Open Folder. This will get you access to the file.





You can also Export you email to a file. That may be what you need to do. You will find this under the File menu, click on Import and Export. You will want to Export to a file. Then choose the file type, and choose the folder you want exported. That should work.
Reply:By default:


\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook





The "%user%" is actually your logon name. This directory may be hidden, so you have open Explorer and open the "Tools" menu and select "Folder Options...."; select the "View" Tab. Open the "Hidden Files and Folders" folder and turn on the "Show Hidden Files and Folders" Selection.





This directory can be changed in the Outlook options inside Outlook.
