I have Mac Office 2008 sitting here ready to install. I've been reading in
these forums to come up to steam on issues -- so far, the one identified in
this thread is the only one that has me worried. I will really need access to
the email in E2004. Of course, I have everything backed up to external drives,
but I would like to hear some people say that the switch went fine. Has
anybody found that they were able to import their E2004 email database and
settings into E2008 with minimal (or no) major grief?
Yes, but some people have had trouble. This is what I suggest.
1. Do not delete Office 2004 when installing.
2. Backup your Office 2004 Identity folder.
3. Install from CD, Restart, Update to SP1, Restart. Now import your
data.(note the AutoUpdate will update first.)
If import fails...
4. You can try to force an update or...
5. Manually move over your data.
After you successfully import...
1. Backup often
2. Set to leave mail on server for up to a week
This way if your database fails shortly after importing, you will not have
any lost mail. Once you manually move your data into a new Entourage 2008
Identity, it will be extremely stable. There is just something about
importing that is a bit hinky. SP1 is supposed to fix some of these issues.
For details see:
How to manually move your data. (when import fails and/or you need to move
to a new Identity same version)
