I am about to reformate (or what you call it, when I reinstall my HD), and earlier, I used this comlicated way



Click the File tab > Options >Advanced >Import and Export Wizard > File to import, click Browse, select the file that you want to import, and then click OK.

But the last time I did it, I found out, that I could just take the files that containe these date, put them away - and place them the rigth place - and it worked.
But where do I find these files?
Thanks

For exporting mails, you will have to create a PST file and then you can move all the emails to the PST file and that file you can burn it on a cd/dvd or you can use a flash drive to copy it from your hdd. For exporting contacts the above path which you have mentioned is the correct one you can export the contacts and then copy it on a flash drive, cd/dvd.

Thanks, but how do I create a pst file+

After the outlook data file also known as the pst file is created. You can open the pst file and then create the required folders in it and then you can start moving the emails from your inbox and sent items and other folders if you have created to the pst file.

I still don't understand, but maybe we are not talking about the same:
I have Outlook installed on my laptop,but it is filled up with virus or other shit, so I want to reinstall it. And before I do that, I want to save my mails, adresses etc. on another HD, so I can import them on the fresh and clean HD.
But I cannot understand why you say that I shall create pst files, as there are already pst files on my pc...?
