HI,
It sounds as if you opted for a clean install as part of your upgrade process.
Can you just import your old PST folder into the new install of Outlook.

I am assuming you are referring to Outlook 2010.

Although you can reimport your pst file as suggested by Firebar, this will restore your emails, contacts, and calander entries, it will not however restore your email settings, such as what server, user name, and password info. This is stored in a registry key and unless the backup method you use backs up the registry, you probably did not get that key.
It would be easier to just reenter the email settings info and go from there.

I just can't see why the upgrade process don't perfectly upgrade the email, it just can't find the email pst file at all.
other thing is after I upgrade that, all application gone. once I install the office 2010 and start outlook, it seems all email setting is here but it just doesn't work.
I can't open the "email account" and "data file" tab in the "email" control panel, what is the problem?
