On my Win98 machine all the Outlook folders are in the <i>c:\windows\application data\...</i> (I'm at work now, and I don't remember the rest of the path). Go to that directory and look for folders like <i>outlook</i>, and some random serial number. I just copy the whole folder to a backup drive for when I re-install the Win98. After the OS is installed I just copy the folder to the correct place and everything is there.
