Office - Transfer autofill file from Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2007

Asked By steagl

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: imap

Where does Entourage store its email autofill cache? In Outlook, it is easily located in App Data/Microsoft/Outlook as a .NK2 file. I have not been able to find any information about the Entourage equivalent. Please do not tell me it is embedded in the Main Identity database itself. If so, is there isome way to specifically extract these saved email addresses for import into Outlook 2007? Due to the vast number of email addresses in the cache I need to save, converting each autofill address to a contact and then exporting a contact list is pretty much out of the question.

D'oh!! That sucks :( Why does Microsoft have such different practices between their own software products? I wish there could be some consistency especially between their professional email products.

You can use the System Preferences autofil in Snow Leopard instead.

Completely different teams.
A bunch of Mac folks develop the Mac version (and for mostly
everything, that is really for the best as far as I am concerned).

Yeah, I figured there are two totally different teams for these two programs, but it is still frustrating for the end user to have to learn two different sets of techniques for the same program. Something like an autofill file should not be too difficult for a Mac developer to create - it is been around in Outlook for years. Oh well, complaining will not solve the issue, just wanted to vent a little.
