Don't do that, really!!
That's where Office stores numerous support files, scripts, etc, including the 
Entourage identity with e-mails, settings etc.
Even if you don't use Entouage, Office needs it and will systematically 
re-create it.

No idea why you have nothing else in ~/Documents, but I wouldn't play with the 
MUD folder.

Huuummmm not good. From what you are describing you have a duplicated structure 
(like /Users/<you>/Documents/dougdouna/Document)

Did you play with the advanced Users setup in the System preferences??
In any case, it's unrelated to Office.

I suspect the system lost track of the location of your user account (of you 
specified a new one).
Office therefore lost its MUD folder with all your e-mails.
If you can correct that, Office is likely to find its MUD folder again (unless 
the e-mails were in one of the folders you trashed)
