I don't know entourage - but I figure they'd have an import settings? Generally, tranferring data in Outlook, I export to a file type (usually using .csv, but again no clue what mac takes) and re-import... Hope this helps somehow.

Call that hip looking guy in the Mac commercial - he'll be happy to swing by & try to import your mail while the PC guy in the suit sits there & chuckles at him.

And I like mail, a lot less bloated.
I never deal with transferring mail from computer to computer. if you use imap, you never have to worry about it. if you use pop, then tell it to leave the mail on the server, and when you use a new compy, the messages all come. the only thing you have to transfer is address books and maybe sent mail (but you can leave sent mail on the server). |

or u can use thunderbird on both, and transfering is pretty straightforward, I believe. export from thunderbird, and import on thunderbird.

handy program called outlook2mac, which will transport all your outlook stuff and turn it into the right kind of file for entourage. Then you just drag and drop those files. It is 10 bucks, but there is no easy or free way I've found to do it, mostly because entourage, which while like outlook, insists on not having a good way to import things. This will also work if you just want to transfer things to mac mail.
