I am a new Mac user, and have Entourage. However, I did not want my Outlook 2003 mail to be transferred to the Mac, just the contacts. The way I did it was:

- Imported all my contacts to Outlook Express (still on the Windows XP machine).
- Opened up Address Book in Outlook Express
- Selected all my contacts and dragged (copied) them into a temp folder (this created vcf or vcard copies of each contact)
- transferred this temp folder to my Mac
- Opened Entourage on the Mac, selected Address Book
- Opened the temp folder and selected all the vcf files, drag and drop into Address Book.

All my contacts were copied over - without any loss that transcoding to a csv file would have created.

Pretty low tech but hope this helps.
