Moving Entourage Main Identity to a different computer does not work

I'm attempting to synchronize my laptop and desktop machines so that I
have the same emails, folders, contacts, etc. When I move the Microsoft
User Data over to my new computer, it copies itself correctly (same
file sizes), but nothing actually shows up when I open Entourage. None
of the email folders, addresses, etc. I have the exact same account
settings on both computers, but it is not overwriting anything when
it's moved over. Any idea why this might have occurred?

I am using Entourage 2004 v11.1

If I close out of all Microsoft applications, Database Daemon quits
automatically. I had to do this before it would allow me to copy it the
first time. Before I quit out of all Microsoft applications, it would
tell me that the database was in use. It still didn't copy the entire
file correctly after it was closed....

Nevermind. Moving just the Main Identity folder worked. I had moved the
entire Microsoft User Data folder before. Not sure what the difference
is though.

I expect you originally copied the MUD to the wrong location (maybe to the
Documents folder on the root drive instead of in the user folder?)
