Outlook Identity Location Mac Database And

I used the migration wizard to transfer the data, but Im having a hard time with the outlook for Mac database and Identity.

I managed to screw it up once and lost old emails, so Im really nervous out doing that again.

When I start outlook on his new computer nothing shows up in outlook.

Outlook Identity Location Mac Had Issues

I thought the migration wizard would have done that, but I didnt transfer over settings because his old mac had issues.

The Outlook for Mac identity is stored in Users DocumentsMicrosoft User DataOffice 2011 IdentitiesMain Identity (just note that in 10.10 the Office 2011 prefs are stored in LibraryApplication SupportMicrosoft rather than LibraryPreferences - but you shouldnt need those, or might not).

I can log into web mail so I know the credentials are right, but for some reason its failing when trying to set up a new account.hmph and they say MACs are easier.

Do not give this account the same name as the account on the old Mac.

Personally I would just resync mail from the server, but not everyone uses Exchange.

Some people use POP3 and the only copy of their email is on their local computer.and its a big deal when they loose years and years and years of email for some reason.

No applications or anything else outside Of the old user folder.

For the default location of your Microsoft Data File, see Outlook File Locations below.

So in most cases, your email is backed up automatically and you dont need to take any further action.

See What is not backing up for a complete list of files excluded from backup.

This approach has a low impact on system resources and is fully supported by Microsoft.

Microsoft provides instructions for recovering the Main Identity folder, but it may not fully recover all of your Outlook data, which is why we recommend recovering from an.olm file.

We recommend exporting your Outlook data and backing up the.olm file.
