migrating from Mac Entourage to XP outlook?

[Stefan Hartweg]

Hi all,

I am currently using Entourage as my e-mail client on a Powerbook running OS
9.2.
I will have to move all my data from the Mac to a Windows XP based laptop
shortly. While most of my documents (word, pdf, etc) does not pose a
problem, I have been unsuccessfully trying for the last few days to find any
information on how to get my emails, contacts, rules, etc. from Entourage
into Outlook on Windows XP.
The only information I could find on this topic so far is a short and
disappointing 'not possible.
Since both Entourage and Outlook are Microsoft products I am still hoping to
find a more satisfying answer to the problem.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Stefan


P.S. my apologies for cross-posting to both Mac and Windows related groups.
I am not quite sure whether the Mac users or the Windows users have more
experience with this one

Paul Berkowitz's "Export-Import Entourage" script set ($20) allows you to
export tasks, notes, contacts, and calendar events from Entourage in a
format that Outlook can read. Download a copy of Export-Import Entourage
and check out the Read Me (free) to learn whether this product might be what
you need.

The easiest way to transfer mail is to use an IMAP server. That and other
options are mentioned here:

I don't think you can transfer rules to Outlook.
