When I upgraded to OSX one year ago I backed up my old OS9 data to an external disk. Now I have to find an old email and would like to import the old Outlook email database into Entourage. Can somebody please tell me what the name of the Outlook database is ?

Thanks a lot

Outlook emails are stored on the Exchange server unless you created a Personal Folder. If you did, it will be named whatever you called it plus a .pst extension IIRC. This file will also be located wherever you specified for its location.

It was usually located in the Documents folder (in 9) under the MS user Data folder. Unfortunatley, I don't think Entourage can read PST files currently. Although this news is encouraging and if you can wait until summer, probably an easier solution.

Of course, if you meant Outlook Express the answer would be different.
