File and folder selection

Since Entourage is a Mac program, the first thing you need to do is to copy your data from your Mac to a PC with Entourage to Outlook Transfer tool installed on it. The most straightforward and simple way to do it is to start Entourage on your Mac and start dragging and dropping the necessary folders onto your desktop. Each folder will be automatically converted into an *.mbx file with a name matching the name of the corresponding Entourage folder. Make sure you have converted the necessary folders and subfolders.

Copy or move the newly-generated mailbox (*.mbx) files to the destination PC system using a USB or external hard drive, a CD/DVD disk, LAN, a Dropbox/Sky Drive/Google Drive folder, or any other suitable method. Once the necessary files have been copied to a folder on your PC’s hard drive, proceed to file conversion.
