Upgrading from Gmail or Yahoo! Mail
1. In Apple iCal, choose File➪Export.
A Save As dialog displays.
2. Name your exported file, choose a location that you can easily
remember, and then click the Export button.
Your calendar and events are ready to be imported into Outlook.
3. In Outlook, press Ô-2 to display the Outlook Calendar.
4. Drag the file you exported from iCal into the Outlook Calendar.
Your calendar events are now incorporated into your Outlook calendar.
The final stage copies your Apple Address Book entries into Outlook. We
take advantage of the fact that both Apple Address Book and Outlook use
W3C standard vCard files for sharing contacts:
1. In Apple Address Book, select all contacts that you want to bring to
Outlook’s Contact manager.
2. Drag the selected contacts to the desktop.
The single vCard file that appears contains the selected contacts.
3. In Outlook, press Ô-3 to display Outlook Contacts.
4. Drag the vCard into the list of Outlook contacts.
If you had groups in Apple Address book, the group members are given
the same category and are not put into an Outlook group.
Upgrading from Gmail or Yahoo! Mail
When you upgrade using IMAP with Gmail or Yahoo! mail, your mail is syn-
chronized between Outlook and the Web. For example, when you delete an
e-mail in Outlook, it’s deleted simultaneously on the Web, and vice-versa.
Before you can use IMAP with these Web services, you must change the set-
tings on the Web to allow IMAP connections to your Web service. Use the
Help feature in Gmail and Yahoo! mail and search for the term IMAP. Then
follow the instructions to allow your account to accept IMAP connections.
Also search the Web service Help for export. These services can export your
contacts in Comma Separated Values (.csv) file format, which Outlook can
import into your Outlook address book. Contacts between Outlook and the
Web can’t be synchronized.
