I installed outlook 5.0.6 in early Dec and it has been working fine.
Yesterday I was copying files to move them from my old imac to a new mac
mini and this morning when I went to check the email, the program opened
like it was newly installed. All of my old messages settings and addresses
have vanished. Does anyone know what those things are called and if they are
a separate part of the program? When I was moving things around I may have
been moved them into some other place by mistake and disassociated them from
the main program. ????

I'd would greatly appreciate and input. Lee

Hi Lee,

Your mail and adddress book content should reside in your Identities folder.
Have you moved that folder, or any of its contents? More information about
the Identities folder is here...
