Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>comm (more info?)

as posted in the Entourage group:

Hello,

As I have a new iPhone, and the Mac-native stuff has improved
considerably, there seemed to be no reason to stay with Entourage.
Leaving has been a bit of a problem: I have written the author of a
bunch of scripts, but here is my situation:

I run 10.4.11, and had a Treo 650, and was using Entourage directly,
NOT the Palm Desktop.

NOT using the scripts referenced here...

http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/8537/Paul+Berkowitz+AppleScripts

.... I exported everything, and found that all of the categories in
Entourage were not preserved (I assume the equivalent is "groups" in
Address Book), and that Entourage's notes have no where to go on the
iPhone.

So if I use these scripts:
a) which of these or other scripts can I do to get things re-
categorized/grouped, and will that simply result in duplicate records
that Address Book will correctly merge (including all the changes
I've
made within it in the last week since exporting/importing) (I have
about 2k contacts)

&

b) Which script to I do to export Entourage's notes, and will they be
correctly titled, and in a useful place on the iPhone? (I have about
400 notes)
- OR -

Is there another way to get what I want? (Chiefly, correctly
categorized/grouped contacts; Notes (with titles in right place, also
by category), and gee.....

.....keeping all my filters/rules would be great, too.

Thanks folks in advance.

I patiently await the reply of the Zeus of the scripts.

Thank you all for your kind efforts to share what you know with
strangers.

Cheers,

Well, Mr. Berkowitz hasn't replied: maybe he has a life.

To clarify, here's the deal:

Greetings All,

Background: After careful consideration, I've moved from a Treo 650
and Entourage 2004 scenario to the new iPhone and all-Mac Apps
platform.

It hasn't gone easily: lots of missing, critical data (below).

I don't understand why thousands of business people aren't posting
about this: my data is invaluable, and compromised by chunks of it
missing.

I have now spent about 15 hours researching this, and posted in
several Google Groups. It's rather tedious.

I have read in several places of the scripts of a Paul Berkowitz
called "Export-Import Entourage 1310," but the documentation provided
doesn't make clear these issues are addressed.

I have written (five times) Mark/Space regarding their Missing Sync
for the iPhone, but they have reading-comprehension issues, and I'm
still not clear if they can get the notes from either my old Treo 650
via it into my iPhone.

Here is what is missing:

a) Can Paul's scripts (or anyone's!) re-export/merge Contacts such
that categorized/grouped are preserved? This is of great importance.

b) Will it export Entourage's notes, and will they be
correctly titled, and in a useful place on the iPhone? (I have about
400 notes), again +categorized+?

c) Any way to export my Entourage filters/rules to Apple's Mail?

d) Any way to export the large mailing lists (+groups+) I had in
Entourage to Apple's Mail?

Thank you in advance for your informed answers, and I must say that
this has been as annoying as Apple thinking we can't figure that when
AT&T raised the rates, the savings on the new phone was wiped out.

Thanks,
k

I've sent two emails, also.

Thanks for the interest.

Hi Folks,

I've figured out how to export all of Entourage Date (except for rules/
filters & signatures) INCLUDING categories to the All-Apple System.

It took 20 hours, and nothing I found here, at MarkSpace, nor
Microsoft's folks was what did it.

I did it.

: )

I will now await lucrative offers from frustrated Treo Owners trying
to get their data fully, correctly exported. Hint: don't throw out
that phone.

Cheers,
k
