Apples Mac OS X-bundled "Mail" is a beautiful and intuitive mail client, but it has its limitations for some users. Entourage v.X is still the top-of-the-line app for "Palm" features like calendar, notes, contacts, and for handling large mail loads. It is possible to directly import Adress Book entries, mail messages and mailboxes from Mail into Entourage but it is also very easy to not find that task very easy. Certain savvy people that can browse Microsoft's homepage might or might not need this program. This application tries to provide an intuitive drag/drop interface while still giving the user full control over the import.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Does EXACTLY what you expect. It will Import your mailboxes from Mail.app into Entourage X. You do not even need to go indepth like the instructions say. You can just use the actual .mbox files in your Library folder. Maybe as a update, I would add a menu bar with the option to Command+Q Quit, rather than clicking the icon in the Dock. Also, I would make it so it's not anchored to the top of the screen, there should be a minimize option. Those 2 are just my anal retentive opinions, 5 stars!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just installed this product and transered about 2000 mail messages from Mail.app to Entourage. What a time saver. A few suggestions. Mailboxes with a period in them (buy.com) would not convert. Removing the period fixed it. Then I re-added the period in Entourage. The error what not very informative. I suggest that the convertion process handle this. Second, it would be great if I could multi-select several mailboxes at once and have them all converted. I had about 30 mailboxes that I had to drag "one at a time". But don't get me wrong, I LOVE this program and I don't know how I would have migrated my old mail without it.
Great
