Everything is GONE

I restarted my computer and everything in Entourage was gone--all emails, calendar events, tasks--EVERYTHING! ...It was all there before restart and (to the best of my knowledge) I didn't do anything to prompt this. How can I get it back?

Move the Microsoft User Data back to ~/Document.

well somehow i ended up with TWO "microsoft user data" folders, one of which was in my docs folder. it was also the one (probably unsurprisingly) more recently updated. the second folder, even tho it was dated more than a week ago, had all my data in it (including additions made that day) . i swapped them out and the problem was fixed. im not exactly sure how it happened, but im assuming it had something to do with my recent migration to a new computer. still dont understand why it happened on this particular shut down and not before, but thankfully all is well.
