Import OLM to Entourage 2008
Entourage 2008 is an old email client that is still in use by many users due to its several features that are hard to replace. Entourage 2008 was related replaced by Outlook 2011 in 2010 by Microsoft.
Considering that, it is surprising that Microsoft didn’t offer any backwards compatibility with the Outlook OLM file. It is only usable in Outlook Mac itself and you can’t import it to Entourage 2008.
This is huge problem in case you ever want to share your Outlook data with the Entourage user, or for those users who have to continue using Entourage and wants some way to import data across both clients. The problem with OLM file is that is too different than how Entourage 2008 interacts with data files.
However, there’s an answer to this problem. By converting OLM to Entourage, you can easily import the data without having to import OLM. For this, you need a tool that can extract the contents from OLM and implement it into new files that work with Entourage. The only issue is that there are not many converters and the ones that exist don’t output the data correctly. They can also be incredibly confusing to the new users who are doing this data migration for the first time.
