i have a laptop and a desktop mac; i have a synchronizing program that
i need to use to sync both computers before i leave for home with the
laptop each night, as i have to check mail then too. my problem is
that i cannot locate the folders where the email messages and address
book etc are stored, so i can't figure out a way to copy those things
over to my desktop computer. (i don't leave messages on the server
because i don't want to receive them twice.) so everything is set up
on my laptop and is working fine, but it's like a brandnew program on
the desktop because i can't find even the address book to copy over.
HELP!

thanks.

~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities if you're using Office X
(the ~ indicating the current user's folder)

Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2001 Identities if it's Office:2001
you're using.

In both cases everything is in there, usually in the "Main Identity" folder.
Just make sure Entourage is closed before copying the files.
