[Moving this post from previous thread that was similar but not the same issue]
I have the latest version of MS Outlook running on my 27 Inch iMac that is running the latest version of Snow Lion. I had my local Apple store do the migration of my files from my old PPC Mac running 10.5.8 when I purchased my new iMac. However I am having
trouble with moving files from Entourage version 12..3.5 (Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac). The Main Identity got corrupted and some of the files did not move over.
What I wanted to do was to select folders of important emails in Entourage, save them to my desktop by dragging them there (where they have a suffix of .mbox, use Dropbox to bring them over to my iMac and then import them using the directions presented in this
thread. But when I follow the steps of File-Import-Contacts or Messages-.mbox files I am presented with a window where I can search for the .mbox file to import. But the file I just brought over to my iMacs desktop can be seen it is greyed out and cannot be
selected.
How the heck do I bring these folders of email messages into Outlook?
I've tried exporting my Identity but that always gives me an error message. So what other choice do I have?
Any help would be appreciated.
When I was with Microsoft entourage I sent email and I know automaticaly when the receiver open and read my email. Since I used Outlook I didn't find how to do that? someone could help?
I have a friend whom I just upgraded to Outlook 2010 for Mac. She loves the darker contrast of Entourage 2008 though. She is from the older generation and hesitant to upgrade. Is there a way to change the color on 2010 to mimic or at least get closer to
the darker contrast of Entourage 2008?
The US makes the switch from Daylight Saving Time Sunday, November 4, 2012. If you use Entourage or Outlook for Mac, you’ll need to quit and relaunch before it recognizes the time change.
Hi,
I just set up emails (gmail and 2 personal .com emails) ok in outlook 11 and then clicked to import from Entourage 08. It said imported ok but when I open Outlook only the recent new emails appear that were on my server. Old emails that were in my inbox
in Entourage and also in many very important archived e-mail folders i set up in Entourage do not show in outlook..help!
thanks,
I have been running Entourage 10.0.0 (which I think dates from 2001) on a Mac Powerbook G4 with Motorola PC processor running OS 10.5.8.
I am about to buy a new Mac Book Pro with Intel processor.
I understand Entourage will not run on the new Mac beacuse of different processor architecture and I will have to buy the latest (2011?) Microsoft Office for Mac - with Outlook for Mac as its e-mail programme instead of Entourage. All online info I have found on transferring e-mails and contacts from Entourage to Outlook for Mac deals with later versions of Entourage (2004 and 2008).
Can I transfer from my older Entourage 10.0.0 to 2011 Outlook for Mac? If so, how?
Grateful for advice!
Incidentally, I have been told that documents created in my old Word programme (2001 version) can be opened and changed by the 2011 Word for Mac programme (in spite of the processor change from motorola to intel). Is this correct?

ANSWER:
Just drag the folder from Outlook to your desktop and it will become an MBOX File.
If you want to convert to Entourage . . . Then drag that file from your desktop into Entourage!

1. Is Outlook (in Office 20l1) more robust and does its design avoid potential for lost data. Can an import of existing data (from Entourage 2004) be accomplished reliably?
2. What other feature differences are there between Entourage 2004 and Outlook 2011?
Office for mac 2008 (Entourage)

I purchased my iMac OS X 10.5.8, on line from Macintosh with Office pre-installed. Have been advised to reinstall, but don't know where to get a copy of the discs.
Any help gratefully accepted.
