PC to Mac - Outlook to Entourage

I recently purchased a Powerbook G4 and am in the process of moving
files. I have done a lot of surfing to figure out how to get my
information from Outlook to Entourage with little success. I imagine
there are many that have done this and I can't find a solution. I
bought Outlook2Mac however get a Run-Time 91 error that I can't fix. I
also read about Import-Export scripts developed but I have no idea how
to use them either. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to transfer
this data. It would be impossible to recreate all of my calendar
entries and take days to manually input all of my contacts. Any help
is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Hi
I've used the Import-Output scripts and they worked well to transfer
Calendar, Address etc entries. The readme that comes with the scripts is
pretty comprehensive.

The scripts won't transfer mail but the documentation details how to
transfer using an IMAP account.

There is a program you can buy which costs about US$10 something like that.
From Little Machines:-

Steve-
The link you provided is precisely for Outlook2Mac, the software with which
Dan seems to be experiencing problems. Dan, if Outlook2Mac doesn't behave as
it should (the runtime error shows that it obviously doesn't), you should
contact LittleMachines, who are responsible for the software. Maybe they can
give you further assistance. Or you could, as you've already mentioned, use
Paul Berkowitz's Import-Export Entourage scripts. Download them from
ScriptBuilders <http://www.scriptbuilders.net/category.php?id=2107>, and
read the "read me" file carefully. It should tell you everything you need to
know.

I used a Palm Zire as a middleman to accomplish this (Calendar, Notes, ToDo
and Contacts) - sync the Palm with Outlook, then import it into Entourage -
but it of course implies that you can get hold of a virgin Palm handheld for
an hour or so... It won't help you with the mail though...
