CSV format isn't really designed for calendar data but some
applications, like Outlook, do seem to support it.

Entourage can import ICS files, which are iCalendar style files. You
need to convert your CSV files to ICS files.

One option is to use an AppleScript posted by someone here

Another option is to use an online converter such as

Hope this helps!

Is it possible that you have Entourage to partially receive messages over a
certain size from this account? Check Tools>Accounts>the account>Options.

If so, you must download the entire message BEFORE saving the attachment.
You can do so by clicking the link under the message address or the menu
item Message>Receive Entire message.
