EMAILCHEMY FIX ENTOURAGE MAC MAC
That being said, I have also read that Mac makes a copy of everthing on its own, so, does that mean the original PST file I had initially Exported from my Windows computer (which is now destroyed unfortunately), in May of this year, would still be sitting somewhere on my Mac ? If so, can I retrieve this original PST file again? I dont care about current stuff on Outlook because all my current stuff is on ical. I didnt start using time machine until a few months ago. My question is, even if I try restoring my entire system to a day in the past, am I looking at not being able to recover these files anyway? or will this work? I have not done this yet, because I am afraid of screwing it up further. After reading several posts, I realize that I hardley ever closed Outlook or ical, so that would mean Outlook Never got backed up on time machine? (Dont know if this is the same for ical) anyway, I keep trying to retrieve these files to no avail, creating numerous more Main Identitys, but this hasnt worked, so I keep going back to the same original Main Identity. I tried to restore Document files with Time machine to a date a few days in the past, but it didnt work as far as restoring deleted Outlook files. (it was a crutch when I first switched to MBPR in April 2013). Although I use ical for my calendar, I was Using Outlook to store my old files and save some new emails. Very glad I found this thread, so I understand what's going on! 🙂Ī few days ago I accidently deleted my Outllook Mac 2011, OLD (PST) files, that were originally Exported from my Windows Vista computer.
Still, I was freaked (because of the experience with 2008) to see that my 2011 database wasn't in my Time Machine backup. Using Office 2011, and Outlook, I've had to restore from a Time Machine backup (2x because of a hard drive failure), and as described in this post, Office rebuilt my database, and nothing was lost.
I could redownload my received email, but my sent email was gone forever. No biggie, I guess, if you were using an Exchange server - but we aren't. (After hours on the phone with Microsoft I figured out what I related in the first paragraph). This lead to anomalies like when restoring from Time Machine, the 2008 database would have unexplainedly lost two days of data.
EMAILCHEMY FIX ENTOURAGE MAC HOW TO
This 2011 database handling is actually a good thing, i think.īecause in Entourage 2008, if all the Microsoft Office programs were not closed (included Database Daemon, which I never figured out how to close - had to restart to do it) - my multi-GB database did not back up properly. The clippings in the Scrapbook disappear.A blank Office Reminders window appears.In Outlook, when you perform a search, the search results don't match the criteria that you set.In Outlook, you can't find information that you added, such as a calendar event or a contact.Outlook contact entries don't display correctly.Blank lines appear in the Outlook message list or in Outlook contacts.Outlook items don't open, or the item that opens is not the item that you chose.Outlook doesn't open, stops responding, or quits unexpectedly.If you have any of the following problems, the database might be damaged and you might have to rebuild it by using the Microsoft Database Utility:
You don't want it to be stale data, which is the sort of troubleshooting points that Office Support identifies: In these cases, rebuilding an index from scratch is the only way to keep it tidy and current. That is the purpose of having a seperate file that is, essentially, disposable. Some database files, particularly to do with email applications, are merely indexes which aid searching and browsing the data. I wanted to mention in response to Ben's comment, that it's not necessarily true that every database file contains unique information. If programs like Emailchemy work, it is clearly a better value than losing more days of my life to fixing randomly borked "professional" software. 😠 Though it tends to be the /Folders/ folder that it keeps tripping over, if your Office version is greater than 14.1.0. At least all your messages and such are still there in individual files (SO MUCH BETTER than the old PST system), but the Microsoft utility isn't smart enough to log/tell you exactly what broke the process. As expected it takes some Microsoft voodoo and seems more trouble than it's worth to keep using what is essentially a "newborn" version of Outlook. I found this thread tonight in the process of restoring an Outlook identity which couldn't be rebuilt.
