Setup e-mail on a PC using Outlook. Then copy all the email over to the exchange server. Then you can download the email to Entourage.

And keep in mind, transferring mail between programs is often difficult on the SAME platform. Changing platforms to from Windows to Mac, beyond this method, very difficult.

If you have access to a windows machine, then try this:

I have used it to transfer a pc outlook user to mac entourage and it worked well.
Just create a new profile in Outlook (use a dummy internet email account), import the psts, then fire up Outlook2Mac. It will leave you with a bunch of folders/files that can be imported into Entourage.

redpola:

leew's answer is the easiest / cheapest / best - almost. :) Unfortunately it requires an Exchange server. You probably have one if your company is using Outlook, but in case you haven't:

The way I achieved this is by doing the same thing but using an IMAP server rather than an Exchange server. Just drag all your mail into the IMAP folder on your server and then you're free to do with it what you like.

Warning - Entourage 2004 in my experience is buggy when accessing the Univ. Washington IMAP server. It keep popping up error dialogs during IMAP transactions. Very annoying. I solved the problem by switching everything to Apple Mail, which works like a dream.

redpola:

Sorry I meant to say "In case you haven't got the appropriate server any more or are having difficulties". I merely offer an alternative solution which wasn't mentioned and which I know to work.

All the best.

ryan_summers:

You can also use Mozilla to convert it to Entourage.

you can Download this Import PST tool from microsoft website if you have your PST file from MAC Outlook.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/office2004/pstimport.xml&secid=4&ssid=15&flgnosysreq=true

or

transfer email from Outlook Express 6 on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 to OS X Tiger's Mail.app. This is how I did it.

1. Download and install Mozilla Thunderbird. Current version is 1.5.0.7.
2. Launch and choose to import from Outlook Express. (Clean up the Outlook folders and empty the trash first.)
3. Copy the mail folder to the mac from the Thunderbird profile folder. I used a FAT32 formatted USB drive.
4. Add .mbox to all the files inside the mail folder you just copied that don't already have an extension. I used A Better Finder Rename for this.
5. Launch Mail.app and choose import from the File menu.
6. Select Netscape/Mozilla and go!

I hope this helps someone, because I had trouble following all the other tutorials. And I hope someone who goes thru this process fills in all the little details that I left out (such as the default directory of the mozilla profiles folder and the extension of the mozilla mail index, etc.)
