Transfering my Entourage X mail from one machine to a new machine

Hi all,

I am in the process of transfering all of my informaiton form one
machine (a G4 with Mac OS X 1.2 to a G5 with Mac OS X 1.3), but I am
having a lot of problems making my mail go into the other machine.

When I open Entourage after moving my Microsoft User Data I can't see
any of my mail. In the past that is what I would do: transfer my
Microsoft User Data to my documents folder and that's it. But now this
does not seem to work, any ideas? or does anyone have a script that
would trasfer my mail files from one machine to another.

thanks for your help

Under OS 9/Office 2001 the correct location for your identity folder is in:

<Startup Disk:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Office 2001 Identities:

Under OS X/Office vX it's:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/
(where '~/' is your current login's 'Home' directory)

Under OS X/Office 2004 it's:

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/

Make sure you put your main identity folder in there, then if you still
can't see it when you restart Entourage, try to change identities (it's
under the File menu) and see if your identity shows up in the list.
