Paul can answer this better than I, but as far as I know, Export-Import scripts export information to be later imported into other clients, most notably Outlook on Windows. Sync E-AB and its sister Sync Entourage-iCal synchronize contacts and calendar information, respectively, between Entourage and Addressbook/iCal. I don¹t know how they differ from Entourage export function since I have not used the latter, but I have successfully used Paul¹s scripts. If you want synchronization with Mac counterparts, you want Sync E-AB/ Sync Entourage-iCal, not the Export-Import scripts.

See "Sync Entourage-Address Book"..." I'm still confused about the differences between Paul's Export-Import scripts, his Sync E-AB script, and just using the export function built into Entourage. I don't know which one will be best for me to get my contacts into AB from E x.
