Hi rene!

Entourage does not support .pst files. This file format is a proprietary
format developed by Microsoft for use only with Outlook. Entourage has been
developed with support for the standard MBOX format.

You can use Outlook to open your .pst file and then move your old messages
to a folder you create in your Exchange account.

Or you can follow these instructions on the MVP website:

Hope this helps! bill

I don't understand how the idea of "proprietary format" explains the
inability of a Microsoft program to convert one type of Microsoft
application file into another Microsoft application file? Considering
that the primary adopters of this application would be Mac users that
have been relying on Outlook 2001 for their Exchange connectivity it
seems inconcievable not to expect they may have large archives contained
in .pst files.

Entourage can't do it because it's "proprietary". So convert them to
..CSV and use EUDORA to make it work!!! LMAO!!

Hope this helps! bill

Humor always helps. And Microsoft cracks me up.
