Importing Saved Emails Under "On My Computer"

Hello!

I recently had to wipe my computer to reformat/re-partition my drive. I
copied/backed up my User/Home folder and all of it's contents. I am trying
to import my data from my previous Entourage account to my new one but don't
see where in Entourage to do so. I think the data i am trying to import is
or was located in Users/"me"/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X
Identities/Main Identity and then the file is "Database". Correct?

How do I get this file into my new account?

Thanks!

Yes, the "Database" file contains most of the data, but you need all of the
files together for everything to work properly.

Just drag the entire Microsoft User Data folder from
<Your Old Home>/Documents/ to <Your New Home>/Documents/

Keep in mind that using this method will delete any data that you've
accumulated in Entourage since reformatting. To save any important
messages, before doing this process, open Entourage and drag them to the
Desktop. Then, replace the Microsoft User Data folder and drag the messages
back in.
