Where does Outlook 2007 store emails locally?

[ljCharlie]

We are using Outlook 2007 with Exchange server. We have a user who has
been moving his emails off of the Exchange server to some folders he
created or by Auto Archive feature in Outlook 2007. He basically drag
and drop the emails from his Exchange server Inbox to his folders on the
left side. The question is, where are all of these folders full of
emails located on the local computer? At first I thought it must have
been the Auto Archive feature that kicks in every 14 days and created
those folders for him to be able to drag and drop, but when I check the
following location the archive.pst file size is very small.

CDocuments and Settings\%your username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

The total folders of emails must be about 1 to 2GB in file size. Where
else on the local machine could Outlook had put it?

Any help is much appreciated.

Where ever the user wants to put it. Search for the .PST extension.

For now I'm going to assumed that the user does not redirect where
Outlook will save it to. The .pst file I've found so far is the
archive.pst and the file size looks way too small for 4-6 years of
emails.
