Moving Autofill file from Outlook

I am in the process of moving from Windows to Mac and would like to import my
Outlook autofill file to Entourage. A lot of my email addresses are stored
there and have never been entered in my contact list. I have identified the
file on my PC but can't find any documentation on how to put it into
Entourage. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

I doubt this is possible unless you can somehow tell Outlook to export
that list.

Agreed. This is a cache file and is considered expendable. I wouldn't
rely on it always being available.

I suggest setting Outlook to work offline, then opening a new mail
message and using the auto-fill to "address" the message to everyone in
your auto-fill list. Right-click each address and add it to an address
book or Contacts list. Yes, this may be time consuming and maybe even
painful, but the auto-fill cache file is not a substitute for properly
storing your email addresses. Delete the mail message when finished and
then go back online.

Hope this helps! bill
