So the question is: Is there any way to restore her old e-mail and
contacts from the files lifted off the old drive? For example, can I
simply copy a "set" of old files to a specific directory on the new
drive and get Entourage to recognize/access the files?

You can move the Identity over, but will need to rename it so it doesn't
overwrite the current Identity.

Move/Transfer from Another Computer:

Now the problem of merging the two Identities.... Entourage does not import
from the same version. There are a couple of options:

1. Export as an .rge (Entourage archive) and import.

2. Export as mbox files for messages and export as tab delimited file for
contacts.

More info on these two methods can be found here.

Alternatively, she has a Dell laptop running Vista and Outlook 2007 --
any way to take the recoverd Entourage files and get Outlook to import
the messages and contacts?
