It will take a bit of time (my data base wasn't all that large, and it took
about 20 minutes).
Once everything is imported, look over your Rules. Several of mine had the
wrong folder assigned for filing messages, so I needed to re-select that.
If you use any AppleScripts in Rules, those will cause problems because
they'll launch OE to process them, instead of being done in Entourage. So
turn off any such Rules until all of your scripts have been upgraded to work
with E (I wasn't affected by this, but others on the list have been).
If you use Palm Desktop and have holidays flagged there and plan on
importing from PD, do NOT click on the Add Holidays button in General
Preferences/Calendar! I did that, then imported from PD and now all of my
holidays show twice in the Calendar.
Other than that, I don't recall any glitches. If by some odd chance
something does go wrong, your original OE data bases remain untouched, so
you can just delete everything that Entourage did and start over.
