Default where are my emails stored

i recently did a system restore and had to reinstall outlook. when i did, i
wanted to migrate my old outlook emails, calendar, etc... so i moved the
outlook.pst file from the old user profile on my computer so that my main
outlook profile was the one that i actually use. when i re-set up my email
accounts, they worked and said they were downloading emails, but i cant find
where they're downloading to. i have done a search to no avail.

anyone?

i know where to find my pst files. my problem is that i have my email
accounts configured to send them to a particular pst but they dont go into
the inbox. i watch the details saying that its receiving the messages but
they are nowhere to be found.

what makes matters worse is that when i set up the account, i forgot to
check the box that says to leave a copy on the server and now i cant access
those emails at all.
