Convert Outlook Pst to Entourage Efficiently

Convert Outlook Pst to Entourage through Pst Extractor Pro, one of the best email migration tools out there.

There is a lot of confusion regarding the task of converting Outlook Pst to Entourage. Many people who switch to Entourage on Mac from their Outlook on Windows, don't realize one thing. That Entourage can't import Pst files. And Pst file is the only format for Outlook to archive/export all the emails, contacts, and calendar data. So it can become quiet a challenge to move your stuff from Outlook Pst to Entourage.

There have been many questions like-

“I recently installed Entourage in my Mac, but I am surprised to see it doesn't support Pst files. Outlook in Windows can only export Pst files, but if Entourage doesn't import them, what else can I do? This is quiet astonishing.”

People have been praying for a long time for Entourage to import Pst files. It hasn't happened yet, and mostly probably won't ever. It is a business decision.

There are many methods suggested on internet, such as the tool offered by Microsoft itself called “Pst import tool for Entourage”. Another method that people frequently follow is use Thunderbird as the go between, meaning first import Pst to Thunderbird, then to Entourage. There is also a way where you have to create a new IMAP account (mostly in Gmail), then access this single account from both Outlook and Entourage.

All of these methods are highly intimidating. That shouldn't be a surprise. The Microsoft Pst import tool is now outdated and doesn't support latest versions of Outlook. Using Thunderbird as an intermediate client doesn't work either, because of so many complications, and besides, it takes a whole lot of time. Using IMAP account is clearly the worst choice. Again, in terms of its inaccuracy and time required.

My best advice is always to convert the Pst files to Entourage supporting files. There is no need to look for a feature in Entourage that can directly import Pst files. That's why convert Pst to Entourage files.

The easiest way to do that is to use the tool called “Pst Extractor pro”, a perfect email migration tool for this purpose.

First export your data from Outlook to Pst files, and then copy them in your Mac. Then load your Pst files (you can choose more than one) inside the tool, choose the folders you want to convert, and choose “Entourage” from the list of output files. It will start the extraction of data and implement every single component from Pst into Entourage files. Finally, import those files in Entourage, and you have got your emails safely and easily moved.

You can try “Pst Extractor Pro” here - (http://www.pstextractorpro.com/). This link is for trial version, where you can test it on your own. The only limitation is that it converts only 10 items from each folder inside Pst.
