Opening a PST file created on PC in Entourage 2004

Has anyone come up with a way to import a PST file created on a PC into
Entourage 2004? I've tried the PST Import tool but it only supports files
created in Outlook 2001. And just to make things more complicated, the PST
was created in Outlook 98.

Thanks,
T

One thing I forgot to mention. The user has been using Outlook 2001 on a
Mac OS 9.2, but the PST files were from his old PC that he was just adding
to over the past couple of years. But since the PST files weren't actually
created in Outlook 2001, I've run into problems with the import tool.

Unfortunately, there's no way to import PST files from Outlook for Windows
directly into Entourage.

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.

Check out Paul Berkowitz's "Export-Import Entourage" script package for
moving contacts, calendar events, tasks, and notes.
