how to import pst file to entourage or mac mail?

Hi just wondering if there any easy program/way to do this since an engineer at work said it took him 3-4hrs and he had too use mozilla thunderbird and convert and was a long headache process !

Googling it seems to show the same process but surely theres an easy way for an PC users outlook pst file to go onto entourage or Mac mail ?

Any ideas to save hours of headache will be appreciated thankyou

Nope, it's not straightforward. Entourage won't open .pst files.

Really interested in this as well as I'm about to have this problem next week when I'm mac-ified.

When I looked into this some time ago there was no easy way to do it. The two options I found were as HighlandeR has suggested, going via an intermediate or I found some software that would have cost about £15 which claimed to be able to do it but I couldn't find any reviews of it at all. In the end, I didn't bother and just dumped my old email.

Of course you could just wait until the new version of Office is released which will include Outlook.

yeah i checked it does seem the mozilla thunderbird way is the best bet found here:

I was trying to avoid this simply cos of a very good technican at work said it was not easy and took him a day too do it !

And im definatly not got the time for that !

I did find that emailchemy converted a pst file to mbox format allowing only mac mail to import it successfully, however it then shows "buy emailchemy" everywhere so not very good, our customer is not willing to pay extra for it.

This is exactly the reason I warned all guys at work we simply do not deal with Emails from PC to MAC....and now 2 engineers at work have given up on it and I have to call the customer tommorow lol
