How move distribution lists to another computer?

[Bill-Hayward]

How do I move a Distribution List from Entourage Mac to Outlook Windows?

I've retired a Mac, (boss's orders) the person was using Entourage 2004, and
had some Distribution Lists set up.

She now has a Windows XP machine, using Outlook 2002. We're using an
Exchange Server.

Are Distribution Lists stored locally? Is there a way to move them from Mac
Entourage to the new Windows computer?

thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill!

Entourage Groups are not stored on the Exchange Server. Entourage does
not have the ability to save any E-mail groups to Exchange but this is a
much requested feature. Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like
to see this feature in future versions by using the Help --> Send
Feedback mechanism in any Office application.

Groups will essentially need to be recreated in Outlook. I'm not sure,
but you may be able to do this fairly easily by viewing a Sent message
that has gone out to the group and creating a group from the recipients
listed there.

Hope this helps!
