I was running Office:Mac Outlook on my MacBook Pro and the hard drive failed. Prior to this, I had been saving emails that I wanted to refer to later in a folder called "retain for future use" in my Outlook folders. After the hard drive failed, I was able
to get an Apple Store Genius to get me access to all my data on the drive, even though I cannot boot the MacBook Pro from that drive. So I copied to an external drive, all the Microsoft User information, thinking I could find my saved emails somewhere within.
I have not been able to ascertain where Microsoft hides saved emails for Outlook. I purchased a MacBook Air, and a new copy of Office:Mac, since my old version would not run on the new machine.
My question is this:
How can I find those old saved emails among the data I have copied onto my external drive, and merge them into my present copy of Outlook? It would be really easy if I had left copies on the email server, but I did not. The only copies that exist are in
the folder in Outlook, trapped on a computer that won't boot from its hard drive, and the "hidden" copies I put in an external drive, assuming I would be able to locate them and restore them. Please help.
