Not that I've needed this for years, but Microsoft are FINALLY working on a PST importing tool for Entourage... eg bring over your Windows/Mac Outlook data into Entourage.

Mind you, I've been looooooving mail.app that comes with Tiger. Finally a decent GUI and finally has functions/options that I needed to make it even barely usable... I'll be ditching Enoutrage once Tiger goes gold... with the amount of mail I have I am utterly dying with Entourage's performance, yet mail.app flies with it.

I can't remember the procedure for transferring outlook to your mac, but when I switched, I had to transfer my emails from outlook express over. To do this I used an email client on windows called "the bat" to import my outlook express e-mails, then convert them to some unix mbox format, then import them to the mac.

Very long winded, but it was the only solution on google I could find and it worked well.

edit: I think this is the url I used to gain inspiration:

After wasting ten's of hours trying to do it myself I used:

Outlook 2 Mac

If you have .Mac it is easy...
I just moved them all from Outlook to Outlook Express....
then added my .Mac email in Outlook Express (as IMAP)...
dragged all the emails into the subfolders I created of my .Mac email account (still in Outlook Express)
which synced them all into the .Mac email...
and then grabbed them from .Mac to my new shiny 17" PB!

All very interesting! Why cannot there be a comprehensive document explaining all the switching options! This is one of the very obvious barriers why PC users do not go to Mac.
