Outlook Entourage For Mac Os
Entourage Software For Mac

Note: Outlook for Mac can only import Unicode-based.pst files, which are the standard format for Personal Folders files for Outlook (for Windows) 2003 and later versions.ANSI-formatted.pst files, also known as Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders Files, were the standard personal folder format for saving data in Outlook for Windows in versions 97-2002. Moving from Entourage email has become a necessity now. Thus, selecting a reliable platform for migration is also necessary. Though most businesses prefer to move to Apple Mail or Outlook for Mac, the import process is not that easy. Therefore, we have mentioned the best solutions to import Entourage email data to Apple Mail and Outlook for Mac.

I'm a new switcher. I use Microsoft Office for 95% of the work I do. I run a small business from a home office on a laptop. When I travel the laptop and business goes with me. I sometimes feel that I am not as much a person as a peripheral of the laptop.
I have several thousand business and personal contacts on Outlook that was running on a Dell Laptop (I still have the Dell Laptop). When I go the new MacBook Pro I tried importing the files to Entourage. I don't know what happened but I got two files for each contact (thousands of them). At the time I thought they were exact duplicates, so I sat here one weekend sorting files and manually deleting duplicates.
Later I found out that one of the files contained the 'notes' section of Outlook where you can type in text. And one of them did not.
I used this feature on just about every contact recording what was said, promised, when they were going to buy again, preferences - you name it.
Now I have deleted duplicates only to find that some of my files I have now in Entourage do not have these notes, and some of them do. (a true Oh-Crapola Moment).
When 2011 Office for MAC with Outlook comes out I plan to be the first kid on my block to get it and try to set Outlook up again.
Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to get the new version of 2011 Outlook to have all the information I had, plus new information that I have added in the past four months or so.
My Idea is to:
Go back to the Dell and try to import the Outlook file fresh again, and check to see if the MAC Outlook has the notes. Then somehow try to gleen the recent entries from Entourage and manually cut and paste new information into the correct files. Then to add an new files that have been created.
If anyone has already faced this and has a suggestion, I would be your friend forever if you could suggest some simplification of this process.
One thing that would be incredibly helpful is a way to pull up Contacts in Entourage by date of revision. Does anyone know how to search Contact for only those files that have had new information added after a certain date ?

‘Microsoft Entourage, being the email client cum personal information manager for Mac OS version 8.5 or later, served the consumers across the world for a long time. Entourage ruled the world of email clients ever since its emergence (i.e. in October 2000) to the day when Microsoft completely replaced with Outlook for Mac 2011 in Office for Mac 2011 suite.’

Ever since Outlook for Mac 2011 settled its feet on to the emailing services era, it has been drawing more and more consumers towards itself. Some of the consumers migrated their mailboxes from the current client to the newer platform. Most of the users did not, might be because they are unaware of a reliable way to migrate the mailbox from Entourage to Outlook. The other reason could be that they are over conscious about the security of the mailbox during migration, for which they never attempted it.

Outlook Entourage For Mac Os

In this post, you will get to know about a secure and reliable method to migrate from Entourage to MS Outlook for Mac 2011.

Entourage Mailbox

Microsoft Entourage stored mailbox contents in a .RGE file. In other words, Microsoft Entourage mailbox database file has .RGE file format, which requires the Entourage client for read and write access. A .RGE database file stores emails, contacts, calendar, notes, tasks, and more, which is unique for each mailbox associated with the client.

The file menu in Entourage was provided with Import and Export options, used for tasks like mailbox import and export. The biggest advantage of such data files is that they are easy to transport, and they can be directly imported into Entourage when received at the destination.

Migration from Entourage to Outlook

In addition to a security and reliability during migration, another key issue is the security and reliability of the newer platform itself for your existing well as future emails. However, when it comes to choose Microsoft’s services and products, you can undoubtedly upgrade to them. For the time being, let us go through the below mentioned secure and reliable way to migrate Entourage mailbox to Outlook 2011 for Macintosh.

See how you can export Entourage data into a .RGE file:

Launch Entourage and click the File menu, and then choose Export in the context menu
Select the items that you want to export and click the Next button
Select No option to leave the items in the Entourage mailbox after export
Choose a location on your Mac and please check the file extension to save
Click the Done button to finish exporting the Entourage database.

With this, you now have available a copy of your Entourage mailbox, which you need to import into Outlook 2011 for Mac. Follow the steps mentioned below for this:

Go to Application > Microsoft Office 2011 > Microsoft Outlook
Click the File menu and choose Import

On the next screen, select ‘Entourage 2008 (Including Web Services Edition)’ and click the Next button

All the mailbox items are shown selected by default; click the Next button to proceed

On the next screen, Select the identity created most recently and click the Next button

On the following message dialog, click OK

This will import your mailbox data from Exchange Server and you will see the following screen saying ‘Microsoft Outlook wants to use your confidential information stored in “Exchange” in your key chain’. Click the Always Allow button

With this, you are done importing the .RGE file into Outlook 2011. You see the following screen and click the Finish button to close it
