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 Block |
---|
"Addrload -m tb mac:z:\mail" (This would convert the default
Thunderbird profile Local Folders to a directory called
"Mail" on the Z: drive) |
- 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.

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
- 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.)
