Step 1 - Export your Outlook Contacts in vCard (.vcf) format:

1. Invoke the following menu command -
   "Tools -> MessageSave -> Apple Mac Export -> Export Contacts".
2. That's it. MessageSave will export all your Contacts into a vCard file.

Note: If you would like a more granular control over the export process, you can use the steps below instead.

1. Switch to the Contacts folder in Outlook.
2. Click the MessageSave Outlook toolbar button .
3. Select "Save all messages in folder Contacts".
4. Select "vCard" in the "Format" field.
5. Click "Save Now".
6. That's it. You should see vCard (.vcf) file(s) created in the destination directory.

Step 2a - Import vCard (.vcf) files into the Mac Address Book:

1. Copy the .vcf files to your Mac. A USB flash drive or an external hard drive is probably the easiest way to do that.
2. To import .vcf files into the MAC Address Book, simply select all of them and double-click.

Step 2b - Import vCard (.vcf) files into Entourage:

1. Copy the .vcf files to your Mac. A USB flash drive or an external hard drive is probably the easiest way to do that.
2. Open Entourage. Click on "Address Book" button.
3. Select all of your vCard files.
4. Drag and drop them into the upper-right panel of the Entourage window (See the screenshot below).

In addition to contacts, MessageSave can also help you export Calendar and transfer your email messages to Apple Mac Mail or Entourage.

In addition to vCard, MessageSave supports saving messages in msg, eml, html, txt, pdf and mbox formats.
