Entourage X has stolen my exchange emails

T

Tristan

I am running a network on 2000 server, and i am running my email
system on a exchange 2000 server.

We also have MACs, running OSX 10.3 on our network.

My problem is as follows:

I have an email account on our exchange server, which until today was
working fine. The guys using the macs have purchased office X, which
inc Entourage X.

After creating an account on Entourage X, it proceeded to pull all my
emails from off the exchange server, and dumping them in Entourage.
Where it has stored my emails, i do not know.

Where has Entourage put them? Under what file extension? How do i
get the back onto my exchange account?

I have searched the mac machine for *.eml or *.pst files to try and
locate them. I have also searched the whole exchange server, but to
no luck.

please please help

Entourage simply uses IMAP to get e-mails. I use it all the time and all
my mail remain on the server. What I suspect is that the people who
setup Entourage to get your mail didn't setup your account as an
Exchange account but simply as a POP account (in which case, by default
the e-mails are downloaded to the Mac and deleted from the server).

One option would be to create a new account on this Mac for Exchange and
move all emails to the folder for the Exchange account in Entourage. All
e-mails should then be uploaded back to the server.

The e-mails are in the Entourage database. The solution I'm offering
here shoudl be the easiest option IMVVHO.

Nope, there is no support for .pst in Entourage X. The data is in
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data, but I'd suggest leaving it alone...
