Distribution lists in Microsoft Entourage: Is there any way to import a distribution list from Outlook onto Entourage?

I'm looking for a quick and easy way of importing an Outlook distribution list onto Entourage, so I won't just have to re-input all of it by hand.

Is it a personal DL or one that was on an Exchange server? What form is it in, a pst?

Dammit, I didn't mean to hit post, I meant to hit preview.

Anyway, if it is in a pst, you can download a free tool from Microsoft, install it on your mac, and point it to the pst. I know at the top of the article it references Outlook 2001, but it does work with Entourage 2004 and later. Good luck.

Gah...Outlook 2007 doesn't let me save to PST. That makes me cry.

You should be able to export the contacts data (with dist list) to a pst. I am guessing here, but I am nearly certain this cane be done. If you need specific help, mefimail me or reply here.
