I'm in the process of upgrading a lot of faculty and staff of my
University from Outlook 2001 to Entourage 2004 using the PST Import
Tool. I was a beta tester of the PST Import Tool back in Jan. and gave
them feedback. Once they released version 1.0, we quickly put it to use
and Microsoft quickly shut down their beta newsgroups. Their beta PST
Import Tools expired soon after tha.
There is a problem with version 1.0 that keeps reocurring about 50% of
the time and I am trying to get in touch with someone at Microsoft to
remedy the situation. The problem is as follows:
Outlook PSTs imported with Contacts in them freeze the PST Import Tool
about 50% of the time once it attempts to import the Contacts. The
application will beachball and suck up all available CPU cycles until
it's force quit. For a while, we still had the betas around and they
imported the Contacts just fine. However, they have now expired and we
have no tool to move the Contacts to Entourage for some users. This is
really frustrating (among other things) that some users need to stay in
Outlook, or we figure out some other complicated, convoluted process to
move the Contacts over.
A few of us Mac techs here at our School are all having this problem,
and so is another person I've spoken with that was a beta tester. I
don't have any contact information at Microsoft to tell them of this
bug. There was a moderator of the newsgroup, but I don't have her
email. Does anyone know who I could contact so we can get this fixed?
It's something that obviously cropped up in the 1.0 release and not
before.
