    Hi Guys,

    My wife is trying to transfer her mail form one mac to another. She used to use Entourage 10.1.4 but there is no easy export tool like in Outlook. Any help would be appreciated,

    I think you should just be able to go under File - Export and export anything and everything you need. Move the file(s) over to the new Mac and go to File-Import in the Entourage there.

    If that doesn't work, there might be a way to find the file in your user folder and move it. Let me know.

    I think the whole thing is stored in a file in your personal directory. I believe it is an mbox format.

    To export it, click on the folder in the left-hand pane in entourage and simply drag it onto the desktop.

    I love macs. So simple you can't believe it sometimes.

    Weird. The Entourage I looked at here at the office had an export and it allows me to export everything.

    Wonder of this would work: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15279


    Or you can got grab the file stored on your HD. Go to your user folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office Identities - Main Identity - Database

    Might try to copy that 'database' file to the same spot on your new Mac.

    Simply copy the Microsoft User Data folder from the old computer to the same location on the new computer. :eek:

    The entire folder.
