Outlook emails retrieval

Outlook emails retrieval I'm trying to retrieve my outlook emails saved on my local machine because I can't access them anymore. I used them with outlook at work which required me to log in to their domain. However now that I have a new job, I forgot to back up those emails up and cannot access the old domain.

"The answer depends on whether you were connected to Exchange and stored your mail on Exchange, or whether you used a local PST file to store your mail.

If it is the first there is no way to retrieve them, as only the headers are stored in an OST file on your local machine, and can only be accessed when authenticated against that domain.

If it is the latter the process is fairly simple. In Outlook you can open the PST file directly.

Click on File
Click on Open - Outlook Data File
Browse for the PST - Normally under %ApplicationData%\Microsoft\Outlook\
Click on Open

It may prompt you for a password, which should be your old network password if at all.
