Switching to Entourage 2004:
Transferring Data from Outlook to Entourage
If you currently use Outlook versions 1997-2003 on Windows for your email, contacts and calendaring, you can use a 3rd party application to help you to move to Entourage on the Mac.
Install and use a 3rd party app such as Outlook2Mac on your Windows machine, to convert your Outlook data to standard file formats (typcially mbox for email, ics for calendaring, vcf/vcard for contacts).
Note: Information about 3rd party products, such as Outlook2Mac, is provided by Apple as a courtesy. Neither Microsoft nor Apple are responsible for this information. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the applications should be directed to the appropriate software vendor.
- Transfer your converted data to your Mac, using an external storage solution (such as an external hard drive, portable media (CD/DVD), or a networked drive).
- Bring your converted data into Entourage; you may be able to drag-and-drop typical mbox, ics and vcf files directly into the Mail, Calendar and Address sections of Entourage or the Entourage icon in the dock.
