    Just wondering how to get this scenario to work:

    I have a macbook pro running office 2008

    I (after much much much trouble) got my .pst imported into my entourage from my windows machines...

    So, I am now going to an exchange situation, and I'd like to get my mac entourage imported into Exchange 2003.

    I can't make a .pst file from Entourage, and I've searched around a ton and can't seem to find an easy way to accomplish this. I'm wondering if anyone here has done this, and what's the best avenue to get it done?

    Thanks ahead of time!

    If your using and exchange server, your emails and other stuff should be saved on the server Once you set up your account your boxes should sync.

    I know our server works that way. Your though may be different.

    Yeah, your email should be on the server.

    I just went from PC Outlook to Mac Entourage and after they synched up, it was a done deal. I was back where I was.

    The issue is I haven't had an exchange server till now, so my emails and folders/contacts/calendar items are on my mac entourage, never been on exchange.

    So anyone know an easy way to get them from entourage to exchange?

    Create two mailboxes in entourage.

    one mailbox is your exchange (TO), and one is your current pop ( i assume pop because they are stated to be on your machine).

    Drag them from one to the other.

    I do this at work :)

    Can you export the contacts to Address Book somehow and then maybe export them from there in some usable format? I have never done anything like that before but it might be worth a shot.

    Unfortuantely Entourage doesn't export anything that works right with normal Outlook (so I can import it into Exchange). Gotta love how bassackwards Microsoft is with Entourage being so different from Outlook.... Silly

    I moved my mailboxes, but still can't find a way to move my contacts or calendar..
