[QUOTE="gatorparrots, post: 1292"] In OS X/Entourage X, the default mail store is: "/Users/$USER/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities" Most likely, it is the main identity, so the full path is: "/Users/$USER/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/Main Identity" If it isn't the main identity, it will be under that directory tree. If Entourage physically removes the mail store database from the disk with an identity-deletion, your only recourse will be a data recovery tool. I suggest Data Rescue X: [URL='https://www.prosofteng.com/']prosoftengineering[/URL] If you are not already backing up your Entourage database regularly, I highly recommend that you do. The database has been known to go south and get corrupted easily, so even apart from 'divine' user intervention, you could find your Entourage data inaccessible. I have a script in the Darwin forum that backs up the Entourage mail store to a CD-R disc every Friday near the end of the day: (outdated link removed) I also use "ditto" to daily backup my working copy of the database (and delete these on Monday after coming back in to work), so I will never lose more than a day's e-mail and other work if/when the database does get corrupted.
