Moving to a new computer

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

My old hard drive crashed, but just before it crashed we copied the data to an external drive. I purchased a new Mac and setup Entourage properly. I worked on the new computer for about 2 weeks, but did not have the old data. After 2 weeks somebody (I won't say who) moved my old Microsoft User Data from my OLD documents folder to my NEW documents folder. Good my old data is now there. Bad the work I saved the last two weeks is missing. What I'm looking for is email that I move to folders on the new mac before I retrieved the old mac information.

Where can I find the email that was copied to folders for that 2 weeks? Any advice?

Unless your Identities had different names, when your old Identity (named
Main by default) was moved, it was overwritten by the new info with the old.
