h4. Thunderbird to Entourage EWS

This is the only MAPI Migration path for users on 10.5.x.  Snow Leopard (10.6.x) users have the option of using Mac Mail as a native MAPI client.
{expand:Expand for Procedure}

# Ensure Office 2008 is fully patched, and install Entourage EWS: [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx|http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/entourage-ews.mspx]
#* In order to patch Office 2008, you can run any office tool (such as Word, Powerpoint, etc.) and go to the *Help* menu and select *Check for Updates*
#* !Screen shot 2010-07-12 at 8.17.24 AM.png|border=2|thumbnail!
# Create Entourage Profile by going to the "Entourage" menu and selecting "Account Settings"
#* In the new profile, Opt to manually configure a new account, and choose Exchange
#** Instructions on go.tufts.edu/exchange [here|https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/x/pWcTAg]
#* Junk Mail Filter turned off
#* LDAP Addressbook
#* For Documents on Junk Mail, LDAP - go [here|https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/label/entourage]

h4. Local Folder Migration if coming from Thunderbird
# Use Addressbook Magic to convert the Thunderbird information to an MBOX format.
#* If you are on a Mac with Thunderbird, copy the thunderbird profile to a Windows VM to be able to run Addressbook Magic.
#* For Example:
{code}"Addrload -m tb mac:z:\mail" (This would convert the default
Thunderbird profile Local Folders to a directory called
"Mail" on the Z: drive){code}
#* Once the conversion is complete, copy the new MBOX files to the Macintosh (~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/) and then drag them from the Finder to the Entourage client.
#* !import-mbox2entourage.jpg!

*MBOX Export from Addressbookmagic, and other programs does not keep the following Thunderbird information when imported to Entourage:*
* Read/Unread Flag (In Entourage all will be marked as read, in mac mail all will be marked as unread)
* Starred/Important Flag
* Marked as Junk

h4. Contacts Migration if coming from Thunderbird
#* If you are on a Mac with Thunderbird, copy the profile to a Windows VM to be able to run Addressbook Magic.
# Entourage can import contacts from CSV, LDIF or Tab Delimited text files, so export the thunderbird addressbook appropriately
#* You will lose Distribution lists, they will need to be remade

This will convert the current user's Thunderbird Contacts folder to a vCard file that can be imported into Mac Mail.

C:\> Addrload tb z:\Outlook.vcf

This will convert the current user's Thunderbird Contacts folder to an LDIF file that can be imported into Entourage.

C:\> Addrload tb z:\Outlook.ldif

*I'd suggest it is faster and easier to export to CSV from Thunderbird itself and import as a CSV with custom mapping.*

# Addressbook Magic can be found on: \\titan\uit-e2010scripts$\ (Where to find AddressbookMagic and a little about its operation.)
