The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Assuming you were using outlook, all data is in the *.pst file, named by
default outlook.pst. This is a hidden file, so you would have to search to
include hidden. You may also need to 'take ownership' - see win help - in
order to copy this file to eg your Documents folder of your current drive.
Once there, within OL, File>Open>Data File....browse to that location
