In Entourage for Mac OS X, how do I import data from another email application?

Entourage can import data from most current email applications. To do this:

  1. From the File menu, choose Import... .

  2. In the window that pops up, choose the option to import from a program or application, and click the right arrow at the bottom of the window.

  3. Select the application you want to import items from, and then click the right arrow.

  4. Choose the items you want to import: Mail (or Messages), Addresses (or Contacts), Signatures, Accounts, Rules, Tasks, Notes, Calendar events, Preferences, Custom views. Not all categories will be available to all applications. Click the right arrow.

  5. After a few moments your data should be imported into Entourage. (You may be prompted to locate the folder where the information is stored.) Click Finish.

In the main window of the application, you will see a folder containing the imported data. If you were using the other email application as a POP mail client, your mail folders will be held within this folder. Any profiles you had set up to read mailboxes using the IMAP protocol will also be active. Addresses will appear in the address book.
