those emails when it copied your Documents folder.
Inside there is the Microsoft Users folder which contains all the identities, account settings and the emails.
It has never failed me through two different machines and three hard drives so I have to wonder why it did not in your case.
Are you sure you have nothing in that folder?

So here it is! I have an Imac that I use for business, the only Imac among four Microsoft PCs. I use the Mac for routine work including emails, where I use MS Entourage. I have three backup remote drives where I backup everything. I also back up Entourage emails to an Entourage .rge archive.
The other day the Mac fell over due to an issue with Microsoft Mac 2008 software, and I had to do a system restore from time machine. So now to get all of my emails back into Entourage -- import them from the .rge backup that contained, it told me, 21.8 GB of data. Fine. Three hours later it told me that the files had been imported, but when I selected the folder in Entourage I received a flag saying "No messages in this folder".
In desperation I tried importing the archive into Apple Mail and MS Outlook 2008, but again with no result after hours of importing. I then purchased a software package for $150 that would recover Entourage archives, and I went through the same exercises again with the same result. "No messages in this folder."
That leads me to question how there can be 21.8 GB of data in a file that contains nothing, or is this some special Microsoft ploy? I apologise for the length of this post, but I am appealing for help. Meanwhile, I intend to scrap all of my Microsoft computers and never touch anything Microsoft again!!
