Learning Your Identity
✦ Explore Outlook: Click this button to visit the Microsoft Outlook 2011
Web site in your default Web browser.
✦ Add Account: Click this button if you aren’t upgrading from Entourage,
Outlook, or another e-mail program. This option is for starting off com-
pletely fresh. Add Account opens the Accounts dialog, discussed later
in this chapter, in the “Adding an e-mail account” section.
✦ Import: This is the same as choosing File➪Import from the menu bar
while Outlook is running. Choose this option to import any of the
following into Outlook:
• Outlook data file from Windows or the really old Outlook for Mac.
(Yes, a decade or so ago Microsoft abandoned Outlook on the Mac
to create Entourage, and now it has come back around to Outlook —
call it a full circle.)
• Entourage information from an Entourage archive file or Entourage.
• Information, such as contacts, from another application.
• Contacts or messages from a text file.
• Add holidays to your Outlook calendar. (See Chapter 4 of this
minibook.)
✦ Close: Closes the welcome screen and runs Outlook.
• If your computer had Entourage 2004 or Entourage 2008 on it, Outlook
automatically upgrades your Identity and then runs Outlook. See the
section “Upgrading from Microsoft Entourage 2008 or 2004,” later in
this chapter.
• If your computer didn’t have Entourage 2004 or 2008 Identities to
upgrade, Outlook simply runs with an empty Identity when you
choose this option.
Usually, you get to see the welcome screen only once, but if you want to see
it again, choose Help➪Welcome to Outlook from the menu bar.
Learning Your Identity
Outlook has a special folder within the Mac OS X Finder called Office 2011
Identities. (See Figure 1-2.) You can locate it for yourself here:
