So you want to switch to Mac, and you got one main problem. Yes I know, your emails.
You have been using Outlook for ages, and you are now wondering how the hell you are going to move all your emails to Entourage specially that the clever monkeys at Microsoft have decided not to have .pst support in Entourage on Mac. bloody monkeys!!!
You don’t have to worry about it though, as the solution is there, but it will cost you a few bucks. There might be some cheaper if not free solutions out there for you as well, but this I’m not aware of, and I just needed something to work and to get finished with moving my mails fast, without losing more time in finding solution that might or might not even work.
Well, the great guys at Little Machines have come up with a small piece of sofware called O2M, which is short for Outlook to MAC. O2M can be downloaded from here and it costs a mere 10 bucks. It’s simple to use, might take some time till all the emails are exported, but looking at the bright side, you’ll be able to make your switch to to your beloved new shiny Mac.
One piece of advise though. If you can avoid using Entourage, please do. It’s sluggy, slow, heavy and it’s a Microsoft product. Mail.app is much better IMHO.

Thanks for the post….I will find 02M. I bought a Mac Air, which I love but am still using my clunky Dell b/c I hadn’t moved the emails.
As to your dilema, go with your heart. I’ve had the iphone since July and LOVE it! I’ve used a Blackberry and hated it…functional but again, clunky! I always forwarded my business calls to my personal cell, a RAZR and used the BB only to check/respond to emails.
02M’s site does not respond. Do you know why? Is there a similar program out there? I am desperate! thanks!
Thanks for the post! If Outlook2Mac’s website isn’t working then try http://www.convertmyemail.com/outlook-to-entourage.php They have a free Beta version that will do the transfer/conversion from Outlook to Entourage.
PST Converter Pro is also a very good tool. Its far better than O2M and others as compared to feature set given for price $10. I hope this information would be useful.
