Transfer vCards from Outlook 2003 to Entourage 2008

I am trying to move my contacts from Outlook to Entourage. I have read about some of the difficulties using CSV files (mysterious quotation marks, etc.) and thought it would be best to do it using vCards. I emailed all of my contacts to myself and saved them into a file on my Mac desktop. I then tried dragging the files into Entourage with no luck. Can you please help me? There has to be a way, right?!
I hope to keep the formatting the same and not have to do too much manual changing of the contacts once they are moved.

I was of the opinion that Outlook cannot export vCards, but if it does then try using Entourage's Import function from the File menu when you have the Contacts window active.
Most users have found that the only successful method for exporting from Outlook to the Mac is to use Outlook2Mac.

Migrating from Outlook 2007 to Entourage 2008

15 days ago, I bought my first Mac after a 12-year gap. I have been trying to get my information from Outlook 2007 into Entourage 2008 without any luck. I've google'd and found that there are indirect paths only. (via mbox).
My E08 refuses to recognize the mbox files. After renaming my Inbox files as Inbox.mbox, they show up as E08 files (with the E08 icons). But I cannot open them in E08. When I go the File, Import method in E08, all mbox files are grayed out and I cannot select any of them.
I've installed Thunderbird on my Mac and got all the files into Thunderbird from my Win PC. Apple Mail crashes consistently when I try to import from Apple Mail.
Total file size is 5+ GB with 30 folders. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong.

Here is a long pending update on how I got my OL2007 data into E2008.
On the PC:
1. Setup Gmail Imap in OL2007. (I used my Gmail account for this purpose. Go into Gmail and search for "Outlook Imap setup")
ENSURE ENTOURAGE IS NOT RUNNING ON THE MAC.
2. Drag and drop each sub-folder from the Inbox into the Inbox of the Gmail Imap folder.
3. Depending on the size of the sub-folder and attachment, it makes take a few minutes to a couple of hours.
On the Mac:
4. Setup the Gmail Imap folders in Entourage too. (again refer Gmail help section).
SHUTDOWN OL2007 ON THE PC
5. Drag and drop the subfolder you created in step 2 onto your Entourage Inbox. (because this is a "download", it might work faster).
6. After step 5 is complete, quit Entourage.
7. Back to your PC, start OL2007.
8. Drag and drop the sub-folder from Gmail into the OL2007 Inbox. (this step is required if you want to preserve all the data on OL2007).
9. Repeat for other folders present on your OL2007.
This process is excruciatingly slow and painful, but it did get me all my data, attachments, preserved the links intact and organized it according to categories. For categories, ensure that you create the same categories as your OL2007 on E2008.
Good luck.

Why not just post your question on Microsofts Entourage forums? They would be more focused on your question, plus Apple Discussions only provide support for Apple products.

Help! - how do I import my contacts from Outlook 2003 to Entourage:Mac?

I found an application but the .pst was not created my Outlook 2001 so the file could not be imported.
I'm at a loss.
Thanks!

You can't bring your contacts onto your iPad directly in this manner. Some of your choices are:
1- Go back to Outlook and export your contacts as a .vcf or .vcard file, then import that into iCloud (you'll need to set up a free iCloud account first). Then set your iPad to sync your iCloud contacts.
2- Import the .csv file you have into something like Yahoo or GMail (or use vcard), then use this type of account to hold your contacts. GMail won't provide contacts directly to your iPad, you'd have to sync your GMail contacts to your iPad through iTunes, or set your GMail account up as an Exchange account to enable active sync to your contacts.
There are other ways, but these are probably your best options.

Transfer mail accounts from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2013

Hello friends!
We changing computers in the office
and I would appreciate some help.
We are moving from Windows XP and
Outlook 2003 to
Windows 8.1 and
Outlook 2013.
That we can transfer mails with
pst-files I know,
but does anyone have a solution how to transfer
our e-mail accounts.
Each computer has 7 accounts linked
to it and I'd rather not do it manually.
Is there any solution?
Many thanks for your help!
Kind regards:
Johannes, Sweden

Hello friend, please read this thread:

I would say it's not a stable way since the profile may easily get corrupted, so some people think it's not possible to complete the migration.
Use Auto account setup and let Outlook 2013 set the accounts up for you.
older versions:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\
Outlook 2013 profiles:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles
The steps at
Moving outlook to a new computer apply to both Outlook 2010 and 2013.

Hot Synch ---From Outlook 2003 (just want contacts and appointments, no mail)

Hello,
I'm 60- maybe too old to figure this out, but I sure hope not! I have a brand new m515, read the manual, and tutorial, but info on hotsynching /downloading from Outlook 2003 into my Palm is abit unclear to me. Maybe I set something up wrong. It synchs and comes up on my main PC screen fine, but doesn't transfer any info from Outlook to my Palm at all.
What did I not do right setting it up, and how can I fix it please? This is the main reason I BOUGHT the Palm.
Thanks very, very much. I have a disability and have ALOT of doctor appointments, so I need to get this to work ASAP.
Many thanks.
Dennis
Post relates to: Palm m515

Hi,
Well, after no replies on the forum, I looked for palm support, and found that for $25. I could talk to a person who I had a hard time understanding. But he did help me figure out things. Basically I uninstalled everything and reinstalled things and checked different boxes for downloads/synch'ing etc. So far, so good. I see why the resolution of the screen is mentioned by many...but as long as I have it in larger or bold font, I can see what I need to see. Besides, the Palms that seem to have great screen resolutions are, like most of the other PDA's, alot more money!
I thank you for the reply. At this point (crossing fingers) all is working fine, synch'ing fine and accurately, so I will be easy with it and hope it stays that way. I bought screen protectors for it and a leather clip on carrier to protect it. I hope it stays functional and reliable for some time.
Thanks again for the offer to help. I did, by the way, download the latest version of Desktop and am using that now.
Best regards,
circawdm

Synchronizing contatcs from Outlook 2003

Does anyone know how to sync contatcs from Outlook 2003 to my iPod using iTunes (Windows XP)?
On Apple support I have found a way to do it mannually by just saving from Outlook a contact as a vCard file, but doing this way I always lose the photo of the contact.
I have an 80GB Video iPod and it supports photo in the contact description, but I cannot find a way to display it!!
Does anyone have synchronized their contacts with photo? I might need to know only the way the iPod saves the photo of the contact.
Thank you and excuse me for my poor english...
Acer Notebook Windows XP 2GB RAM 100GB HD

Synchronizing notes is not a supported feature at this time.
Hope this helps you.

Copy an email manually from Outlook 2003 SP3 to Tour 9630

I have a Tour 9630 v5.0.0.591 (Bundle 1059, BES Platform 4.2.0.284) on the Verizon network. My emails stopped being delivered to the Tour, so I had to perform an Enterprise Activation, which was successful. I am now receiving emails on the Tour, but I can't get any of the older ones to be delivered to my Tour that are in Outlook 2003 when I synchronize. Is there a manual method to "drag and drop" via a file explorer/manager concept? Or any other way of accomplishing this? Thank you.

I purchased and downloaded eMailchemy from WeirdKid Software and it worked great. It is a native Mac application that converted some 85,000 emails along with attachments and entire mailbox hierarchy intact from Outlook 2003 for Windows .pst format stored on my Mac into archive mail files for Entourage for Mac. This was exactly what I needed and well worth the $28.00 to get it done right the first time, even if I don't need the software anymore.
Just wanted to let you know in case someone else ran across a similar requirement.

Export mail from outlook 2002 for Entourage 2004 - how to?

Hi.
I've tried for some time now to export my mail from outlook 2002 for Entourage.. Can't say it's been easy, and I still haven't figured it out.
Can anyone help me with this..
and .. oh yes.. I'm a newbie at mac.. got it for only about a week or so now..
please bare with me..

I don't use contacts but I found this document that should help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302268
However it does specify Outlook 2003 or later is required to sync contacts so that will be an issue for you.

Migrating dns from windows 2003 to windows 2008 on workgroup env

Hi, We are planning to migrate primary dns server from win 2003 to win 2008. Both the old and new servers will be in work group. I have found few articles on how to proceed.
1. Configure new dns server 2008 R2 box as a secondary zone and doing a zone transfer for froward & reverse lookups from the primary Server 2003 machine. Then changing the name and IP of the Server 2008 R2 machine to
what the Server 2003 box was (after pulling the Server 2003 box off the network) as well as setting the 2008 R2 box as the primary. Neither of the servers will be connected to a domain at any point during or after this process.
2. Copy registry keys and dns files from old to new server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zones
Right click on the “Zones” node and choose “Export“. Save the export as a .reg file (e.g. DNS.reg).
Copy the DNS.reg file to the destination server and “Merge“.
Copy the DNS files
Copy the contents of the %SystemRoot%\System32\DNS folder from the source machine to the same folder on the destination machine. I received an permissions error while trying to transfer the “Samples” folder. It is not necessary to transfer the samples.
Set the DNS Load method
Using the Administrative Tools -> DNS MMC snap-in, on the “Advanced” tab, set the “Load zone data on startup:” to “From registry“. This tells the DNS server to load all zone data from the registry.
Then change the ip address and hostname of the new server to match that of the old ones and start dns service.
I was wondering which method would be easy and hassle free as I have like 23 zones to transfer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lakshmi Soma

I would go with the first method as I always try to avoid making registry changes which might result in strange behaviors.

Transfer mail from Outlook express 6 on Windows XP to Mail on iMac

I want to transfer mail from Outlook express 6 running under Windows XP to Mail on a Macbook Pro running Tiger.
I have a network set up and can access the outlook identities, but neither Entourage nor Mail will recognise the entities when I try to use the import function. I suppose they are looking for outlook express 5 which runs on Mac OS 9.
Is there a way to do this. I would think that if Apple is keen for people to move over to Mac, this would be an area which will be a concern to a lot of people.
Thanks

Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

Hi,
I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows.
Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010.
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
Base on the research ,
We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
using Outlook.
===========
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs.
1.Type
regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
2.Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely
Rex Zhang
