PC to Mac. Outlook & Entourage to Thunderbird

It’s enough to make anyone go dizzy.

Tonight I finally got all my old email from Outlook on a pc, and my old mail on Entourage on the Mac over to One application - Thunderbird. It was a bit of a nightmare.

First off I had to export my Outlook folder’s into one Outlook Express to get it’s head round (this is on the PC), then export from OE on the PC to a format which could be read by an application called MailNavigator, this then exported all the mail as an mbox format which could be dropped in the library folder of Thunderbird on the Mac. Entourage was pretty simple in comparison, all I had to do was drag the folders from Entourage on to the desktop then move them into the library folder. Was it all worth it? Well, at least I know have all the email in one place, whereas before it was in two places on two different machines and two different platforms.

Just in case you (or anyone else who has stumbled across this post) needs to do this again, if you don’t want to use an app like MailNavigator, you can also import the mail into Outlook Express and then into Thunderbird/Mozilla PC and from there dump the files straight into your OS X Thunderbird profile.

I must admit to being more impressed for it. I’ve even recommended it to all my friends.

I have been using it. Outlook Express more stable and secure than other programs.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
