    Along my process of moving from Mac to PC at work I have encountered another potential problem.

    Does anyone know of a way to move Mac Entrouage email to the PC Outlook email program? Basically the "folders on my computer" section.
    I do a lot of business via email and those emails are pretty important (like a digital filing cabinet).

    My IT guy says the only way to move them is to send each one to myself, and then download them on my new PC machine. This sounds like an incredible tedious and long process.

    Anyone have any other ideas other than re-sending thousands and thousands of emails to myself? :confused:

    CHECK THIS OUT. MAYBE THE EXPORT IMPORT PROG MIGHT HELP.

    Hi Kelly

    mov2mac will work;

    also

    Take a look at this page (I don't know if it works);

    I also found this;

    How to transfer files from MS Outlook XP to Entourage in seven steps...

    I was able to transfer 1000's of messages and 100's of folders with this method.

    I retreive all emails + attachments.

    From Windows (Windows, Outlook XP, Mozilla, Smart Rename)
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Download and Install Mozilla (tested with v 1.0,
    http://www.mozilla.org) with Mozilla Mail included
    2. In Mozilla Mail: Tools / Import / Mail / Outlook
    3. Find on C:\ files in Application Data/Mozilla/Profiles/*.* (include Inbox.msf) (Include the profile in Mozilla Mail)
    4. Delete *.msf files (used only for Mozilla mail)
    5. Rename whateverfile in whateverfile.mbox and this for every files (ie: Inbox become Inbox.mbox)
    Tips: You can use Smart Rename (freeware) http://www.xbytesoft.com/
    use Delete/Add / Add Extension to files / * to .mbox
    6. Copy those files in a shared folders that a mac can see.

    From Mac (OS X 10.2 Jaguar, Entourage X)
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    7. Drag and drop the whateverfile.mbox in entourage and you retreive all emails + folders + attachment.

    Tips: I strongly recommend you to create folders in entourage as they are in your outlook and drag and drop every .mbox files separatly in entourage

    Outlook to Mozilla Mail and then to Entourage

    http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/do...html_single/Outlook-to-Unix-Mailbox.html#toc2
    This works perfectly and this post is adapted from those websites.

    Other "Solutions"
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    From MS:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/office2001/EntConvert.asp does not work at all...

    Outlook to Eudora and then to Entourage
    http://groups.google.com/groups?th=14a7bcc682bf7
    does not work for me... maybe too much E-mail

    From "Use the source"
    http://www.usethesource.com/Software/02/06/11/167208.shtml
    It works, few error because of the number of emails

    From Paul B., IMAP Solution, ok for few emails
    http://groups.google.com/groups?th=14a7bcc682bf7
    Too many emails, I couldn't use the IMAP solution
