You can import the *.pst

The default store for the *.pst file is;
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Dave has responded with the pathname for the PST file. I am responding to
let you know that it will not be that easy if she was an Exchange Server
mail client while on the domain.

If you do not see what you expect in the PST file and there exists, in the
same location, an OST file. Let us know.

Good Luck,

Carl
