You didn't mention which email program you were using.

If it was Outlook Express then search for the files .dbx and .wab:

inbox.dbx (the actual emails: DataBase eXchange file)
address.WAB (WAB = Windows Address Book)

The files will be in the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name

That is just the first part of the pathname, it has a very long path.  Just start searching for:

*.dbx
*.wab

Use the asterisk as a wildcard.

If you used Outlook (part of MS Office) then you are looking for the files:

outlook.pst
archive.pst
