How do I import ALL of my e-mail and folders from Mail to Entourage?

Any simple and easy way to do this?

I think there is an AppleScript on the CD/Value Pack/Utilities. It's named
"Import from mail" and there's a "Read Me" file too.

Just one more word: from your name, you may be using a German version of
Excel. In that case, the corresponding script can be downloaded from
Microsoft mactopia: http://makeashorterlink.com/?S573223F5

1. Double-click the Import from Mail script in the following folder:
Microsoft Office X CD/Value Pack/Utilities/Import from Mail. 2. When the
script is finished, click OK 3. Now simply start Entourage as usual.
Your imported messages are in the Import from Mail folder under On My
Computer. You must (re-)apply the Office 10.1.2 Updater, and any subsequent
updaters (10.1.4, 10.1.5), AFTER installing Import from Mail from the Value
Pack on the CD. You only get the updated (new replacement) Import from Mail
script if you first install it from the Value Pack, then apply 10.1.2. You
absolutely need the updated script if you are in Jaguar (OS 10.2.x). Apple
moved the location of the Mail mailboxes in Jaguar so only the new script
can find them.

Directions to import from Mail to Entourage are here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entouragex/using.aspx?pid=usingentour
agex&type=howto&article=/MAC/LIBRARY/feature_articles/officex/en_SwitchApple
2Ent.xml> For importing contacts, you can drag contacts from Address Book to
the Desktop, and then drag them into the Entourage Address Book list, but
not all of the information will come through correctly in most cases. If you
need a perfect transfer of contacts between Address Book and Entourage, use
Paul Berkowitz's "Sync Entourage-Address Book" script.
<http://www.scriptbuilders.net/?search=Sync+Entourage-Address+Book> You
can't import iCal information into Entourage. Entourage isn't compatible
with iSync. You won't be able to back up your Entourage information to .Mac.
You could transfer your information back to Address Book (using the script)
and iCal (using File -> Import) when you want to perform a synchronization
with .Mac and then do so, but that's not true synchronization.

But the version on the CD doesn't work in Jaguar (OS 10.2.x). First install
"Import from Mail" from the Value pack, then (re-)apply Office 10.1.2
Updater to replace it by the up-to-date version, then 10.1.4 and 10.1.5
updaters if you want to be up to date. Run the script, and that's it.
