There has been problems with drag drop method, labels gets mixed up at times. What I did when I had the problem is sync my mobile phone software (blackberry in this case) then synced it with Entourage. viola!

Hope it helps

not too sure about outlook express, but i use outlook on my windows pc. all i did was set up entourage on my mac, and it synchronized the mail in my outlook, with the mail in entourage.

hi!
newbie here...
i'm planning to buy a macbook soon... i have a question...
my macbook will be a desktop replacement here in the office (since i need the mobility that comes with owning a laptop) and i'm wondering if there might be problems i'll encounter in terms of connecting to our network and receiving my office e-mails (since ms outlook is the default email we have)???
thanks in advance for the help guys!

Hi newbie with mac also here, I migrated all my emails from outlook to entourage without any problem. There is a work around for this for you to be able to migrate all the emails from pc based outlook to entourage.

As to receiving and sending emails using your mac for office emails thru the network i don't see any problem with this as I am doing this now.

Hope this helps.

This is one of the site that I saw http://www.entourage.mvps.org/accounts/thunderbird.html it's one of the process that you have to make if your not willing to spend the $10 O2M software. Hope this helps. It worked flawlessly for me.

Dang! I needed your help 2 years ago. What I did was I moved my PC emails from my archive folders to the server inbox, got to my Mac and waited for the emails to populate and then move the emails to the archive folders in my Mac. Basic, time-consuming but effective.
