Switcher Tips: Outlook2Mac

Lutheran Pastor, Eric Evers, has recently converted from the evil land of Windows to the promised land of the Macintosh, having purchased a 12-inch PowerBook. However, one bump in the road to his transition was the 8 years of email in Outlook he had on his old machine. Fortunately, a little Googling about the net turned up Outlook2Mac.

After purchasing the software, Eric notes, "Ten bucks yields switcher bliss! Easy to use, and although the web documentation makes it sound like it's glacially slow, I was quite pleased with the speed. I'm not doing all my folders at once, but what I've done so far has been a cake walk. I haven't tried its features to transfer calendar or contact info (I'll do that when I set up my Treo 90 to sync with the PowerBook). I'm using Entourage, which isn't anywhere near as annoying as I thought it would be. After I use it for a bit, I may end up ditching it for Thunderbird, which I use for personal e-mail. According to the documentation, Outlook2Mac should work with pretty much any Mac e-mail client."

So if you are looking to switch and the email migration has you praying for guidance, rejoice! Outlook2Mac may be the answer to your prayers.

Thanks, Eric!
