I just discovered that simply dragging a message from Outlook to the desktop creates a .eml file (just like Entourage), and by quitting Outlook and launching Entourage, the .eml file can then be dragged into any Entourage folder. Dragging a group of messages to the desktop results in individual .eml files but they can also be selected and dragged as a group back into Entourage. Fortunately, I've only had Outlook for a few days, so I don't have huge quantities of messages to move -- I'm going to do it today so I can get back to being productive instead of wasting time trying to find workarounds to the many Outlook shortcomings. An interesting side note -- when moving an Outlook message with bar indents, all black text, no line-wrapping, etc. to the desktop and then into Entourage, all the bar indents become bullets, all related text becomes blue, and the entire message is properly line-wrapped (yahoo!!)!! It's a shame that the Outlook team, apparently, decided that we don't need such basic and very useful functionality.....
