PST files and Entourage 2004

Hello

In order to aim migration processes it would be a major advantage to be able
import PST files into Entourage 2004.

How have other gotten round this?

If you're using an Exchange Server, you can copy information from your PST
to the Exchange Server using Outlook. Then, you can set up your Exchange
account in Entourage 2004 to download the data.

Otherwise, check out Paul Berkowitz's "Export-Import Entourage" script
package.
<http://www.scriptbuilders.net/?search=Export-Import+Entourage>

That package doesn't import mail, however. 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.
