Have you tried running outlook off the old drive? It MIGHT work.

i thought outlook keep the e-mail in a compressed, .pst files? And those files, if i'm not mistaken, is on :
C:/Document And Setting/user/application data/outlook.......

You wont find the e-mail in the outlook installation folder....... :(

P/S : You could use THIS PROGRAM (http://www.totalidea.com/outs-down.php) to backup and restore your outlook setting and e-mails........

ok then

well i would personnally explore the netscape folder ..

But as previously stated
Maybe look for a netscape file structure

Think this solves your problem
You email is lcated in the *.slt (salted) folder, located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\*.slt\Mail
Stupid 5 character message AGAIN !!!
