PST type files in profile

Hello out there,

There is apersonal assistant to the CEO that is leaving and quite obviously
there is a replacement for her. Part of the process is to change all the
relevant e-mails to the next person.

On a PC it seems quite easy where that I create a new data file (seperate
pst file is then made), transport all the relevant e-mails folders etc, in
that file, then copy that file into the new profile's documents settings
etc.

While that looks easy for the PC, I am sure that there is an equivalent for
the Mac.

The question is what is the process?

Thanks in advance and kindest regards

You have a few options.

1. Individual messages can be dragged to the Desktop and then dragged
into the new assistant's mail window.

2. Mail folders with messages inside them can be dragged to the Desktop
to create .mbox files and then dragged into the new assistant's mail
window. (This will not include sub-folders of messages.)

3. All items can be exported to an .rge file using Entourage's Export
feature found under the File menu.

Hope this helps!
