E-Mail storage

I recently lost some past e-mail that I wish I could recover from a back-up
disc. Can you tell me where these might be found on my C drive?
Thanks for any help

Outlook saves its data in .pst files. Since we don't know what backup program
you used (if any) or how your backup disk is structured, we can't possibly
know where your .pst file is on the disk. Do a search for *.pst.

This website will help you get the email back into your current Outlook
program:

It is under: c:\users\user_name\AppData\local\Microsoft\Outlook.
