Default Help....How to Recover Mail & Settings

We upgraded to XP pro here, and have been doing a number of upgrades to our
desktops and server.... THis has created new local profiles/identities on
everyones machine... Problem now is when we go into Outlook, it is coming up
a new program, prompting you for setting up accounts, etc... There has to be
a way to locate our old settings, mail, folders we had previously set up in
Outlook, so we don't have to re-do settup, and lose all our old mail... I do
understand how to recover this information on the Outlook Express level ,
with locating the old .dbx files and copying them into the new Express
profile..yada yada yada.... But I know Outlook doesn't use the same .dbx
files so what do I have to look for and do in order to recover my old
information???? Please help, much appreciated
