Hi again,
what you're saying about the Finder folder is quite puzzling; you can only
store 260 files in one folder? As far as I know, there is no size limitation
to a Finder folder; or are you referring to a folder on your USB flash
drive? A flash drive has only limited space available (as opposed to modern
hard drives), which would explain things.
As far as using your laptop as an external drive is concerned: this is
somehow related to what I've just asked you. If you can get all your emails
in one Finder folder on your laptop's hard disc, then yes, you can simply
drag that folder from your laptop (in FireWire mode) to your desktop.
Entourage stores all its items, including emails, in one monolithic
database; unless you want to override your desktop's database in its
entirety, you cannot simply copy your laptop's Entourage database, but you
will instead have to export your emails somehow. There are other methods,
mind you, so if you want to try something else, post back again, and this
time, state what version of Entourage (v.X or 2004) you're using, since
Entourage 2004 has a new Export method you might want to use.
Hello Michel,
thanks, i think it'll work. one question though. because i have a lot
of images in those emails i can only save a bout 260 in a new folder in
the finder. so i was wondering if you think it'll work if i used my
laptop as an external drive connecting it to my desktop with a
firewire????
thanks again,
devrim.
