Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2005Where is the folder for my incoming Outlook mail located?
Hello all. I've finally done the quantum leap from my old G3 to a G5. I'm desperately trying to locate my old mail (Outlook 5.0) that I had on my G3. I tried the setup assistant, which unfortunately goes on the blink after a good 20-30 minutes so I'm going to physically transfer the messages by hand. But how? Where are they??

I've actually heard that Outlook treats all the incoming mail as one big glob of data. What kind of file is it? If I manage to find it I'll simply transfer it to the new 'puter and then attempt to import it in Mail... Thanks again, Paul In article <3ea03dbe.0502180150.115d1a03@posting.google.com>, > > Paul C.

You can also search your Mac for *user data* and it should show up. When you do find it you can try pointing your mail app of choice at this folder, since I think both Mail and Entourage look at the supporting files in addition to the single database of messages and contacts. > I've actually heard that Outlook treats all the incoming mail as one > big glob of data.

When it's in the OE folder I copy that entire folder to the new Mac. I forget the file type of the OE DB, but it's not mbox if that's what you were hoping for. hth, Jeff |
