More Information
Microsoft Outlook 15 is a Mac version of the popular Microsoft Outlook email and calendar program. Microsoft released Outlook 15 in 2014. The program is sometimes also referred to as Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac.
Outlook 15 saves local copies of users' email messages in a series of OLK15 files. For example, an email that includes body content and an attachment would have its data saved in three separate files, an .OLK15MESSAGE file, an OLK15MSGSOURCE file, and an .OLK15MSGATTACH file. Outlook 15 uses these files to load messages more quickly as a user browses their email.
The OLK15MSGSOURCE file includes most of the information associated with the email, including the email's recipient, sender, subject, and body content. Outlook 15 saves OLK15MSGSOURCE files in the following directory:
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data/Message Sources
