I believe Entourage has a way to export your contacts into vcf format, which in turn allows you to import that into Address Book. As for Mail, you have an option to import mailboxes from another program, which in cludes Entourage.

look on versiontracker.com...
should be a freeware or shareware app to help.

wait...doesnt mail offer an import function? it does, try that first!

address book has an import option as well, but if you need help...
shareware.


good luck!

open your entourage contacts window and drag a contact to the desktop. It will create a .vcf file.
