Hi,

I need to migrate my entire collection of e-mail on my work PC in Outlook 2002 SP3 to my Mac.

What's the easiest way to do this? I don't want to bring my Mini into the office and plug it into the network as I don't think Entourage will work (it never used to with my old Powerbook).

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

is your work email on a Exchange server/IMAP or a POP3 account?

If it's an Exchange server/IMAP account then you'll just need to add the account to Entourage and it'll populate the info/emails from the server. If it is an Exchange server it works better with the latest version of Entourage 11.2.4 - do the update before you add the account.

if it's a POP3 account, there are ways of doing this as well, but they take a bit longer and i can't find the info at the moment.

The easiest way is having/putting it all on an IMAP server.

It's on an Exchange server. The deal is I'm leaving my job and want to keep the huge volume of e-mail I have. Is there no way to grab the pst file (if there still is a pst file with Outlook 2002 SP3), burn it to CD/DVD and then work on it on my Mac?

I own a Mac Mini at home and don't really fancy bringing it to work, hooking it up to the network and praying the whole thing goes well. I used to bring a PB to the office last year and never managed to get Entourage to grab my Outlook e-mail.

Thanks for your suggestions ...

I can recommend this application:

It's only $10, you'll have to run it on your PC and it will export your mails to a format you can then burn to CD and import on your Mac.

Tsilou - MANY thanks for this, I'm changing jobs soon and want to take everything with me in an easy-to-access format.

Again, many thanks!

The other cheap but nasty way to do it is just to drag and drop all the messages to a folder on the PC, then export them as mail files - these are readable by anything.
