Entourage Axed Outlook Download All The

I then exported all files from Outlook 2011 and saved them on the new computer.

I have Microsoft Office 2016 installed on it and I wish to use Outlook.

On my older MacBookPro I have Entourage for Mac2008 installed.

Is there a way to export all emailscontacts from the old Mac to the new one Any help would be appreciated.

For anyone that needs to do this, here is what worked for me: I had Outlook 2011 and Entourage 2008 installed on the old computer.

I exported all Entourage files seperately - calendar, notes, tasks, mail, then imported them to Outlook 2011.

I probably should have just imported from a previous version of Outlook as suggested above in one of the posts.

Everything seems to work well - none of the message rules work, however, so I had to re-enter those in.

Cheers.

However you are using a Mac and Microsoft slime balls that they are do not allow Entourage nor even Outlook on the Mac to create PST files.

The only backup function of Entourage is to backup everything absolutely everything in to a single massive olm file.

Even worse the only way to use it on the newer computer is to import everything, absolutely everything on to the new computer.

So, if as Microsoft suggest you do backups to olm files, each will be the size of your entire mail database, if you then import one of these files just to get at a single message you have to import the entire ohm file of possibly tens of thousands of emails potentially doubling the size of your mail database.

This is not a Mac problem it is the slimy toads at Microsoft problem.

However If you have everything stored in your MS Exchange account anyway, then you dont need to backup and restore anything anyway, all you need to do is add the account to Outlook on the new Mac and it will re-download all the messages, contacts, and calendar data once again.

You should be able to separately export just the contacts from Entourage but as far as I remember you cannot export the calendar data.

If Office 2011 or earlier is already on the drive, it should automatically find the folder Main Identity and offer to import it.

Since you are changing Macs, all you need to do is copy the Main Identity folder over to your new Mac.

Run Outlook 2016 and point it to the location where you copied your previous data to.

The Main Identity folder contains everything from your old email, which includes all Inbox folders, Sent, Drafts, your contacts, email settings, etc.

Once imported, the data is saved to a new location and the Main Identity folder can be deleted since it will no longer be used.
