Microsoft offers .PST import tool, promises better Exchange support for Entourage 2004

Microsoft has released a beta version of what it calls the ".PST Import Tool," which provides an easier way to migrate data from Outlook 2001 for Mac to versions of Entourage for Mac OS X.

The pre-release is available for testing from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/beta.

In a statement released yesterday, Microsoft also promised better Exchange support through Entourage 2004 in an upcoming release-revision. The statement reads:

"Microsoft built enhanced Microsoft Exchange Server support into Entourage 2004 and will expand it further with an update to Entourage this year. Enterprise customers will benefit from improvements that allow viewing of multiple calendars and increased integration with the Global Address List (GAL). Enhancements also include better server and client synchronization and permissions, as well as improved public folder experience and mailbox quota management tools. This update will be released during the second half of 2005."
