BTW, if you move the Microsoft User Data folder out of Documents, Entourage and Outlook will create a new folder with a blank Identity. You need to move your data back.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the community spirit. In light of "stick up their butts" like Templeton, everyone else seemed to flow right around and help fix the original problem. I had similar issues, but slightly different. However, these solutions and pointers eventually helped me out too.

I believe that Mac users on these mac forums are more than capable in helping with OSX related problems, regardless of Microsoft or other products. Clearly, these people were not asking for Microsoft related help, just where the heck their files went.

Thanks so much!

Mac users are certainly capable of answering OSx related questions. But this thread is about Outlook, a Microsoft product. The issue has nothing to do with Apple or OSx. The best and fastest way to get the best answer for a microsoft product issue is in the forums created and supported for answering Office issues. Templeton provided the best response to the original poster, and to subsequent posters' questions about Outlook, a Microsoft product.

Why don't you lighten up and offer a helpful DIRECT link, or god forbid, some advice? If you don't like the idea of some Mac-heads trying to help each other then get off the thread and go hit one of your usual p0rn sites.

Jesus christ what a retard you are behaving like.

some people are just jerks. i just had this problem. here is the solution:

documents folder: make sure you didn't move your Microsoft User Data folder. if you did, move it back.

restart outlook holding the command key. Select an identity when prompted - select the most recent. click rebuild. this should rebuild everything you had and everything will be back to where it's supposed to be. hope this helps!
