  Note: You may localize local content as well as server content in Entourage within one working window (also called an Entourage Profile). At the top left-hand side of Entourage, you have the names of your existing Exchange, POP/IMAP accounts, their contacts, email folders, and calendar events. If you scroll down, you will find an “On My Computer” folder icon where you can find the appropriate FAQ. The “On My Computer” folder acts as an offline archive for past calendar events, emails and contacts (address book) which have been moved from email accounts so you can access this information locally.

  Note: When exporting the entire content of your mailbox, you are only exporting the folder “On My Computer”. Therefore, you have to export your contact and calendar items manually.
