Exporting inbox and subfolders

[scottieboy74]

Does anyone know how you can Export an archive of your inbox and have
it include all your subfolders as well? I have tried, (as i am
upgrading to Leopard, but complete erase and reinstall) it only seems
to back up the actual mail in the inbox and NOT the subfolders inside
of the Inbox.

I cannot see an ' include subfolders' selection. SO maybe there is not
a way to do this????????

Any help much appreciated

The easiest solution is to backup your Microsoft User Data folder. After you
install Leopard, drag over the Microsoft User Data folder to your Documents
folder and you should be good to go after you install Office.

It's very important that you upgrade Office or Entourage will NOT open.
There was a change in the database after the initial version was released
and if Entourage database was updated, it requires the updated version.

For MBOX files: Run this script on your messages: Export folders (this gets
subfolders too). The script will fail on a folder with corruption.

Exporting in Entourage under File you can also select to export as an
Entourage archive (.rge). It will get subfolders, but can't remember if all
folders need to be under the Inbox to get this to work.

You need to get these updaters:

11.3.5 combo
11.3.6 requires 11.3.5 to be installed
11.3.7 requires 11.3.6 to be installed
11.3.8 requires 11.3.7 to be installed
11.3.9 requires 11.3.8 to be installeds
