Entourage Offline folders

[bphillips]

We use Exchange and Entourage for our email. Last week we were told to
clean out our mail folders as we were taking up too much space on the
Exchange server. I know that I can archive messages in the Folders on
My Computer section of Entourage. What I want to know is where are
these messages stored on the local machine? We have about 30+ Macintosh
users and I would like to show them how to archive off their messages,
but I need to know where they are stored should we need to move someone
to a different computer and for backup purposes. Also, any words of
wisdom or issues with archiving messages this way that I should be
aware of?

Thanks,
Beth

/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004

I would just copy the entire Microsoft User Data folder to back up the data.
That will save all of your Entourage data.
