Switching from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook
4. Navigate to the saved Entourage archive .rge file and click the
Import button.
Outlook imports your Identity. If it seems like nothing is happening
and the progress bar got all the way to the end, just keep waiting.
Eventually you see the Done button.
5. Click Done.
Your Identity has been successfully imported.
6. In Outlook, choose Tools➪Accounts from the menu bar.
Enter account information to restore your accounts, as described later
in this chapter, in the “Managing Accounts in an Identity” section.
Switching from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook
Microsoft makes it easy to switch to Outlook for Mac. As we mention earlier
in this chapter, Outlook 2011 is the first Outlook version to take advantage
of the new Outlook Identity format. Before starting this process, we recom-
mend that you make a note of the account settings in Outlook for Windows.
In Outlook 2010 for Windows, choose File➪Info➪Account Settings.
If you’re using a version of Outlook for Windows older than Outlook 2010,
check Outlook Help for instructions for making an Outlook data file (.pst).
Saving an Outlook data file
You can migrate your Windows Outlook Identity by making an Outlook
data file (.pst) in Outlook for Windows and then importing the .pst file
into Outlook 2011 for Mac. Here’s how to save your Outlook data file in
Outlook 2010 for Windows.
1. In Outlook 2010 for Windows, choose File➪Options➪Advanced➪Export
and then click the Export button.
The Import and Export wizard displays. If you don’t see the wizard, try
minimizing the visible window, because the wizard may display behind
the current window.
2. Select Export to a File and then click the Next button.
The Create a File of Type dialog displays.
3. Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and then click the Next button.
The Select a Folder to Export From dialog displays with the proper
folder selected and the Include Subfolders check box selected.
