Little Machines "Outlook 2 Mac" PST conversion tool

This application will convert Outlook PST folders into mbox folders so they can be accessed in Entourage.  Please note that each PST subfolder will be converted to a seperate MBOX folder and then each MBOX folder will need to be imported into Entourage seperately.

The O2M (Outlook 2 Mac) software license key needs to be purchased by Computer Services before the software will convert all the folders.  You may proceed with the installation of the application however it will only convert one folder.  The software can be downloaded directly from http://www.littlemachines.com/download.php

1. Double-click on the O2M installation file
2. Click Next on the Welcome screen
3. Accept the License Agreement and click Next
4. Leave the Default file location and click Next
5. Leave the default to create a Desktop icon and click Next

Before the conversion process:

1. Please close all Outlook windows
2. Using Windows Explorer, please go to the following directory - C:\\Documents and Settings\\xxUSERNAMExx\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Outlook\\

(This is to prevent the Symantec Outlook Antivirus error from appearing during the conversion process)
