How do I merge two of the same folders that are in the Main Identities, Data Records folder?

So, I replace an user's mac and i moved his Folders, message sources, and messages, from the old main identity to the new one on his new mac; but i forgot the move the "message attachments" folder. Now he sees all his emails, but none of them have attachments.
So, it has been 2 days and he noticed this and has been archiving new emails with attachments.
My question is: When i move the folder "message attachments"(from his old mac that i have) into his main identity and replace the current one and rebuild it, it will get rid of the attachments for those 2 days.
How can i merge those two folders together so when i rebuilt it, it has the old attachments and the new emails with its attachments as well.
is this doable?

‘Message attachments’ is huge, why?

I'm not sure if this is caused by SP2 or not, but I'm concerned over disk usage by Outlook 2011.

My message attachments folder has swelled to 100gb!

I run exchange with a mailbox of 10gb.

I do keep archive PST's on my macbook but the total size of those is 100gb. Those are archived in a master PC (windows) and I copy them to my macbook for ease of access.

Can anyone explain why this is? I regularly archive my mail every 45 days, but this folder seems to have attachments from well before that.

Version is 14.2.2.
