I had to do an erase and install of the new operating system (10.4.3).
My email is an exchange set up with a third party providing the
service. In order to stay within my limits on this exchange account I
have kept all old email in the "folders on my computer" file. I copied
my files to an external hard drive prior to the erase and install.
I've installed office again and want to import the "folders on my
computer" files from the external hard drive. Can't seem to figure it
out though, so any help would be appreciated!!!

If you have not used Entourage on the new computer move the entire Microsoft
User Data folder to the Documents folder.

If you have used Entourage on the new computer, move the entire identity
folder you want to use to the Office Identities folder. Your identity is
named "Main" by default. Be sure to rename one so you do not overwrite. Your
identity folder can contain more than one identity.

Switch Identities to view your old mail. If you have not used the new
identity, delete it. If you have used it and want to combine the new mail
with your original database, drag each folder to the desktop from one
identity. This creates an MBOX file. Switch identities. Drag the MBOX files
into the folder window of Entourage.
