Where are mail files kept? Need to restore.

Edward M. Baum

I back up my hard disk regularly with SuperDuper!, which makes an exact
clone on my backup disk. Restoring is done by drag and drop.

I need to retrieve some e-mails that were inadvertently erased. Where Are
the Entourage mail files located for Entourage X using OS 10.4.5? What is
the name of the file? With the file restored, what is the best way to read
the restored mail?

Thanks!

Everything you need is in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X
identities

~/ represents your user account.If you don't want to replace your
current account with the old one, you could probably rename the identity
itself, place it alongside the other in the current Identity folder and
switch between identities from Entourage itself. Make sure you don;t let
Entoruage retreive new mail fromt he old account though.

You can get the e-mails you want by simply dragging and dropping them to
a folder on the desktop and dragging them the other way around in the
other identity.
