I just looked in vista.. its in the user profile data settings and is usually not something people think to back up before restoring factory settings. You have to change your folder preferences to not hide system folders.. and then go to computer, your desktopname, local, app data, microsoft, and then either outlook or windows mail and save that folder. That has all your mail etc.
