incomplete address imports from Mail.app to Entourage

J

when I drag addresses form Mail into Entourage, only some of the info
gets translated. Usually the email address drops out. Any idea what
the problem is?
Is there another way to import addresses from Mail to Entourage? Thank
you!

What do you mean by "addresses" if the email address drops out? You mean the
email address of the sender drops out of mail messages? That doesn't sound
right.

Or are you trying to bring over contacts (vCards) from Apple's _Address
Book_ application - not Mail, but Address Book? In that case, yes, you'd get
100% fidelity using my shareware script Sync Entourage-Address Book,
available at

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

Sorry to barge in on your thread, but it sounds like you might be able to
help me import mail from Mail.app to Entourage X. Is there a script for this
or have I missed something really simple?

There is a script from Microsoft itself, called "Import from Mail", which is
on your Office v. X CD, in the Value pack. But the version of that script
which shipped within the v10.0.0 CD is for OS 10.1's Mail.app, and won't
work in Jaguar or Panther. (If you have a Students & Teachers Version CD,
it's already v10.1.4 and is updated already: just install the script using
the Value Pack Installer on the CD, then double-click the script "Import
form Mail" on your hard disk. It's installed to Applications/Microsoft
Office X/Utilities/Import from Mail/). Find it there and double-click it.)

If you have a CD version of Office X earlier than 10.1.2, install the Import
from Mail script from the Value Pack as above. Then (re-)apply the Office
Updater 10.1.2 and 10.1.4 even if you've applied them before. (I'm not 100%
positive they're both needed, but better do it than miss something.) That
will replace the out-of-date script with a new updated version. Then find it
as above and run it.
