You probably need to import the data from your old *.pst file. Outlook stores all mail in this file. The path to this file on a system before upgrade is "C:\Documents and Settings\"Username"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook". You will have to start office 2003. Click file, then import and export..., then select import from another program or file, then select Personal Folder File (.pst), then folow the rest of the steps should just be next questions.
