After some further digging the reason that the migration failed was the fact that I had a very agressive antivirus program running on the target computer Mac that was blocking the copy due to viruses found in the mail profile folder. I will preface this bit by saying that this failed for me twice. For example, contacts are in the navigation pane on the People tab, email messages are on the navigation pane on the Mail tab, calendar items are in the navigation pane on the Calendar tab, and so on.

Migration assistant choked on this folder twice, leaving me unable to move it via a thunderbolt to thunderbolt connection. This folder needs to be copied from Mac to Mac when migrating data. The new location is not well documented, and I stumbled upon it on an obscure forum post, the location is ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile In Outlook 2016 for Mac, Microsoft in its infinite wisdom, has changed the default location of the email profile folder. I wanted to share my info in the event that it helps someone out there. I recently had to help a client move from one Mac to another, during the process one task proved more challenging than originally anticipated.
