Importing .pst files from PCs

A

Abomidable

Hey all,
I was wondering if someone might be willing to help me out. I just
recently purchased a Mac and Microsoft Office for Mac. I used to use
PC and wanted to import my old Outlook 2000 .pst files from my PC into
Entourage 2004. Anyone have any experience with this or just know how
to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Pax,
Matt

Check out Paul Berkowitz's "Export-Import Entourage" script package. That
allows you to move calendar events, contacts, tasks, and notes between
Outlook & Entourage.

For mail, see this advice:
This page has a pretty clear tutorial for moving mail from Outlook to
Entourage.
<http://www.riches.com.au/articles/export-outlook-entourage.htm>

Outlook2Mac advertises that it can automate the same procedure. However,
some users have noted that contacts, calendar events, and tasks don't always
transfer properly.

Alternatively, you can use an IMAP server to transfer mail. You can get a
free IMAP account at <http://www.bluebottle.com/>. Create folders matching
your local folder structure on the IMAP server. Drag-copy messages from
Outlook to similarly-named IMAP server folders. Go to Entourage and access
the the same IMAP account. Drag-copy messages from the server folders to
similarly-named local folders. If necessary, delete messages from server,
go back to the exporting program and repeat the process as often as
necessary until done.
