The MBOX Converter software is multi-talented data conversion tool that easily supports all MBOX files extracted from its supported mail clients – Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Entourage, Eudora, PocoMail, SeaMonkey, Postbox, Spicebird, The Bat, Mailbird, Mulbarry, etc. Create MBOX File for Mac Entourage Folders. Launch Mac Entourage email application on your Mac machine and then, resize it to see the desktop. Choose the folder, which you want to archive and if you are not able to view folders then, simply navigate towards View Folder List. Drag-and-drop the.
How can I convert Entourage.rge to.pst to import into Microsoft Outlook 365 for Mac? I have an exported Entourage.rge file and can no longer access the program (on an old computer where the hard drive crashed), so I can't export as MBOX or anything like that. The only options for importing to Mac Outlook 365 are.pst,.olm or Outlook 2011. I've found a lot of places that have rge to pst converters, but they are all under the assumption that it's for going from Mac to Windows, so all the converters I've found are for Windows (download as.exe files). I'm on a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10. Hi LaurelT7,Was wondering if you ever got an answer to this question from February? I am having the exact same issue and cannot currently find a workaround.You are correct that everything assumes you are moving to Windows.
I am running both my macs on windows 365 for mac and need to export that mainidentity.rge file into the new version of Outlook for Mac 2016 with my entire folder architecture. If you have any additional insight here, it would be GREATLY appreciated.Thanks so much,Ray.
Hi, Laurel.Don't know if you found your solution yet but I am sure others are still looking. Here's what I found.If you Ctrl+click (or right click) on your.rge archive and select 'Show Package Contents', you'll find it is actually just a set of folders named Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Notes and Tasks. Guess what's inside?Outlook won't let you 'import' the events, contacts or tasks, etc., but if you double click on any of them they will open up in Outlook by default. (If not try setting Outlook as the default program in the info panel and then clicking the 'Change All' button/pull down menu under the 'Use this application to open all documents like this one.' Message)Mail folders are in their original hierarchy with the.mbox files next to them. When I imported them into Mail.app manually the.mbox files doubled up the folders - so there was for example an 'Inbox' folder within an 'Inbox' folder - but all the mail was still intact.
It was a big mess, but it was manageable, even if somewhat tedious. Anyway, that was Mail not Outlook.The good news is you don't need an.rge to.pst converter to get your email files into Outlook, which tend only to run on Windows. You just need an.mbox (or Mail) to.pst converter. There are some available through the App store.
I trialled 'Mail To PST Converter' from the developer and it worked fine for Outlook 2016, but that is just one example. I am sure there are others out there if you search for them.Hope this helps.The Piper. Hi, Wayne.I've also had a trouble just like yours.And finally I found it's simple and easy solution.Check the URL and get 'office for mac 2011'.
It demands 'office 365' contract, credit card and microsoft ID.But you already have 'office for mac 2016'. So you have to do is just 'try 2011'.MS site would ask you some details but it's just usual forms.When you download '2011' and launch it, you can transfer Entourage Identity data from '2008' into '2011'.When it's finished, then you proceed to transfer from '2011' into '2016'.That's it.I've already done smoothly and it's fine. One thing you should not forget is to stop automatic contract in MS site. Unless you do it, you'll have to pay every month.Anyway please try it.kenkurt. I did finally manage it without going through Outlook 2011. I used AussiePiper's method of right clicking on the 'Main Identity.rge' archive file that results when you choose 'Export' in Entourage's file menu, and then select 'items to an Entourage archive' in the first little window that appears. (Note that the export process takes a fair while, but eventually 'Main Identity.rge' will appear on your desktop).
As AussiePiper rightly suggests in his post above, right-clicking on the 'Main Identity.rge' will allow you to 'Show package contents' and then you will see this list of folders:And this is where I went another step beyond AussiePiper's suggestion to double-click on each folder with the intention of getting them to open into Outlook 2016. That unfortunately didn't work for me, so I decided to try something else that did work. I opened each of the folders and looked at the contents. For example, here's part of what I found in the 'Calendar' folder:I think each of those files stands for one particular calendar entry in my Entourage, 13,324 items in all (whew!), but anyway, by this time I was feeling adventurous, so I just took a chance by selecting all those items in the folder and dragging them onto the calendar window of Outlook 2016.
Amazingly, they were accepted! It took quite awhile for them to get in there, but it worked.I did the same for the Contacts, Notes and Tasks folder items but (and I'm a bit embarrassed to say this), for a couple of them (likely Notes and Tasks), dragging the folders' items onto the corresponding window of Outlook didn't work, but dragging them onto the Outlook icon in the Dock did. When I did that, a whole bunch of separate little windows opened up on the screen, so all I had to do then was close each one and then the items were safely inside Outlook. For some reason, the tasks didn't appear in Outlook's Tasks window but strangely they were working in the background because they kept popping up on the screen every now and then to remind me of things undone, as they normally do.

However, they did magically appear in the Tasks window this morning. Typical computer mystery!I know it sounds like a huge saga, but it's done and I can now use Outlook just as I have been using Entourage for all these years. The ironic thing is, though, that the reason I wanted to do this in the first place was so that I could sync Outlook calendar with my Mac Calendar which would then sync with the Calendars on my iPad and iPhone.
After going through the saga above, I found out that in fact Outlook's calendar can't be synced with Calendar!! I could have sworn that I saw an article about how it was possible, but lesson learned.
