Hi,
My MacBook Pro crashed yesterday, I managed to transfer all my docs and data onto my other Mac before I reinstalled Leopard.
When I reinstall entourage, obviously everything is as new. Is there any way that I can retrieve my saved emails and calendar from my saved data? I have no idea where it might be stored.
many thanks
Kevin

Simply move the Microsoft User Data folder back to the new Documents folder.

Hi Diane,
Thank you for the advice but I've done that and it still isn't picking it up. This is so frustrating as I can see my old identify folder etc
can you think of anything else please?

thank you again

Here's what I would try:
Rename the old identity folder;
copy it into the Microsoft User Data>Office 2008 Identities folder;
then switch identities to the one you copied.

have done it and very relieved to find my calendar etc in tact!
