.pst in Entourage ?

L

Luc Geukens

I have been using a PC (really !) during some years, and
have switched back to Apple (OS X 10.2; Office X)about a
year ago. I created a .pst file of all my outlook data
(agenda, mail, contacts). I'd like to start using these
data in Entourage. Is there a way to convert, import ... ?
I'm sure solving this will be of help to lots of users.
Thanks for any help on this issue.

Only Outlook reads .pst files. You'll have to borrow a friend's Outlook for
an hour or so. Make a new Profile there for you and import the .psts in.

You can get my "Export-Import Entourage X" scripts at

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

They guide you through exporting contacts, calendar, tasks and notes as .csv
files and convert them and import them all into Entourage, where they will
have all your data, including categories. There are steps showing you how to
do mail, which is more bother. If you have access to an Exchange or IMAP
account, it's very easy, otherwise, more trouble. There are other ways to
transfer mail (and contacts - but without categories) which you can read
about at the MVP website linked below.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

I believe there are two ways to get the mail transferred properly from
Outlook. The first is based on the fact that Outlook can be scripted by
means of COM. If you know how to program in VB, Python, CL, or some other
language like that, it is simple (but a few details to pay attention to) to
use the object model of Outlook to walk though all the mails and export
them. In Python you would simply create MH objects, for example. I've done
some testing and it seems to work; no, the code does not have the quality
needed for others to use it on their mail.

The other is to use Google to find outlook2mac - this (shareware) program
from LittleMachines.com seems to do just that. Since I don't trust my hacks
enough to apply them to my mail, I'll fork of the $10.
