Hi folk … I am about to shift across from Wintel (Windows XP Professional) to Mac… sadly I am technically utterly incompetent even if as a user I am reasonably capable… this is my first posting… but judging from the valuable advice I expect to be an avid reader! If not contributor (for now)…
… like all determined switchers I face the perennial challenge of converting:
1. all my Outlook 2003 (not express) Mail across to Apple Mail or Entourage
2. all my Outlook 2003 Contacts across to Apple Address Book or Entourage
Questions - General =====
1. What mail programme do people recommend if I am permanently shifting to using Apple Mac (I see a lot of criticism of Entourage, but none of Apple Mail)?
2. What is the easiest way to convert 1000´s of Outlook Contacts across to Apple Address Book or Entourage?
Question – Synchronizing HP iPAQ data with Outlook ======
I sync my HP iPAQ with my Outlook (Windows) using Active Sync routinely can I sync it with Outlook (Macintosh)?
Is there another Mail programme such data from the HP Compaq Ipaq can be synchronized with?
Questions - Based on research gleaned from these and other pages
I understand that:
- Outlook 2001 (Macintosh) can be imported to entourage.
- Outlook 2001 (Windows) cannot be imported to entourage.
++Options that I have seen mentioned by others but do not clearly ´get´:
1. some have mentioned that with MS exchange on a server it is possible .. however this is not clear to me, how does this work?
2. Others have mentioned that with Outlook Express it is possible to move all information… can Outlook Express import all Outlook data so it can then be exported to Entourage or Apple Mail and Apple Address Book?
3. another has mentioned importing all outlook data into Eudora – then importing all data into Apple Mail or Entourage – does this apply to all address information and mails?
4. Others have mentioned that Apple Mail has exchange settings and thus fully supports exchange as of MacOS 10.4. And that Microsoft has added Exchange settings to its POS with Entourage 2004. Does this mean that it is now possible to import contact info and mails direct to Apple Mail, Apple Address Book and Entourage from Outlook or am I correct in understanding that this can only be conducted through Exchange on a server?:
5. Has anyone used 02M from
www.littlemachines.com? I´d love to hear how it works!
... I look forward to hearing ...
