How can I transfer my Entourage 2004 (Snow Leopard) emails to my new MacBookPro (Lion)

Question

Just got a new 15" MacBook Pro (Lion) and would like to move my saved emails from my older Intel MacBook Pro 17" (Snow Leopard). I enabled sharing, but cannot open Entourage or find a way to import or export the emails. I can copy the archived emails file to the new computer, but there's no way to get the emails into Mail. I read that getting a trial in MSFT Office 2011 and importing the emails to Outlook from the saved archives might be the only solution.
Before I go through this process, I'd like to ask if there's any other way to accomplish this migration.

Answer 1

Copy the Microsoft User Data folder to the new computer's /Home/Documents/ folder. Open Mail and select Import Mailboxes from the File menu. Click the radio button for Entourage and follow instructions. Similarly, you can import contacts into Address Book and, I think, iCal.
Correction:
iCal will import from Entourage. However, Address Book does not in a similar way. You need to create a vCard file from Entourage itself. If I remember correctly you can create a temporary folder, then export your Entourage contacts as vCards and save in the folder. Transfer the folder to the new computer. Open Address Book. Open the folder of vCards. Select all of them and drag the selection into Address Books list section - the middle section.
