Convert RGE to PST

Understanding rge and pst file formats

RGE files are archive files created by Microsoft Entourage, an email client for Mac OS. These files store emails, contacts, calendar events, and other mailbox data exported from Entourage. PST (Personal Storage Table) files are used by Microsoft Outlook to store emails, contacts, calendar items, and other mailbox data on Windows systems. Converting RGE to PST is essential when migrating mailbox data from Entourage to Outlook.

Why convert rge to pst?

Since Entourage is discontinued and Outlook is the standard email client for Windows, users often need to transfer their mailbox data from Entourage (RGE) to Outlook (PST). This conversion ensures seamless access to old emails and contacts in the Outlook environment.

1. Import RGE into Apple Mail: On a Mac, import the RGE file into Apple Mail using File → Import Mailboxes.

3. Convert MBOX to PST: Use a third-party converter to convert MBOX files to PST format.
