Microsoft Tests Mac E-Mail Import Tool

By Nate Mook | Published January 12, 2005, 1:34 PM

Touting its continued support of Mac OS X, Microsoft is seeking beta testers for a new tool that allows users to migrate their e-mail from Outlook 2001 to Entourage 2004, Microsoft's latest mail client for Apple's operating system. The .PST Import Tool was unveiled yesterday at Macworld alongside a new version of MSN Messenger and new Office tools and templates.

The public beta program is targeted at IT managers, and is also available in Japan. Applications are being accepted via Beta Place, using the guest ID: Guest4PST. Microsoft will respond via e-mail to those who meet tester requirements and provide a unique ID to the .PST Import Tool Beta site, which hosts downloads and a bug reporting tool.
