Getting back to the correct main identity

[Wild Farm Alliance]

Hello,

I purchased a new MacBook Pro and migrated all the files from the old
computer to the new one. When I open entourage, it has a new main identity
and none of the old emails I've sent in the past. How do I switch to the old
identity I was using before?

Thanks,
Jo Ann

If you have used Entourage on the new computer, move the entire identity
folder you want to use to the Office Identities folder. Your identity is
named "Main" by default. Be sure to rename one so you do not overwrite. Your
identity folder can contain more than one identity.

Switch Identities to view your old mail. If you have not used the new
identity, delete it and just place your old identity folder in the MUD
folder. If you have used it and want to combine the new mail with your
original database, you have options:

Hope this helps!
