Moving Entourage to a New Computer

D

Dave R

I just bought a new iBook G4 and want to move my Entourage information
from my old G3 Powerbook to the new machine. I've copied the Office X
folder itself using a FireWire connection, but now want to bring my
old e-mail, contacts, etc. over as well. When I try to "Import,"
there's no option for importing from the same version of Office X.
I've seen a workaround for Contacts, but nothing about the old e-mail
itself. I've tried copying various folders and files, but nothing
seems to do it.

What can I do?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
When I try to "Import,"

Click to expand...

Simply take the Microsoft User Data folder that is in your account on
the old computer (~/Documents/Microsoft User Data) and move it to the
same location on the new one.

You can just drag the folder to your desktop then copy it
to the new machine and double click it. When you drag it
over it should give you a file with an .mbox extension.
ex. work.mbox. When you double click it on your new
machine it will ask you if you want entourage to make a
new folder click yes.
