I'm getting a message in New Outlook that says ""Delete copy of migrated data from Legacy Outlook to free up space."

It also says, "Migrated data is available in New Outlook and can be accessed in On My Computer".

Is this a legitimate Outlook message?

    I couldn't agree more. Outlook was once a handy, useful tool that I enjoyed using. Over the years it has morphed into less intuitive program that makes finding needed emails frustrating.

    Hi Sandy,

    I believe the "On My Computer" data was still there, just not visible in New Outlook, but I did have a Time Machine backup of the previous state that I could restore from.

    Sincerely,
