I am using the most recent version of Outlook for Mac 2016 and I created a folder "On This Computer" so that I can move emails to it from the server. When I move an email, it deletes it from the server, or so is my understanding. Where is this local folder with my emails saved on the computer? If I were to wipe my computer, how would I recover these emails?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
Thanks!
While all Outlook 2016 emails are stored in Group Containers messages are not stored by folder. Your best option is to export these emails as .olm file or try dragging individual folders to Desktop as .mbox files as backup.
Your best option is NOT store anything locally.
o to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Follow Kurt's instructions.
Outlook 2016 saves all data related to itself here:
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office
The tilde ~ means your user account. Back up the folder, UBF8T346G9.Office
