Simple solution to the import problem:
Force an Update (X, 2004 to 2008)

If the Setup Assistant , First Run Setup Wizard, or File | Import. fails, you can force an update.

Move a copy of your Main Identity folder from your previous version of Office (x, 2004) into the Office 2008 Identities folder.

Your old Main Identity will overwrite the new blank Main Identity. (If Entourage 2008 has not created an Office 2008 Identities folder, then open Entourage 2008 and let it create one.)

Open Entourage and it will start a manual updating process.

After the process was over for me, I got "database corrupt" error.

Simply run the database repair utility and all should be well.

All messages, accounts, signatures and rules will come over to 2008.

This would be the ideal solution for me. However, when I tried this, Office 2008 could not find a database to repair! The dialogue box would appear, indicating a database was corrupt and needed to be repaired. However, no database appears in the box allowing one to rebuild it!

The export/import scripts only seem to work with email messages. What about Notes? Calendar events etc etc?

Drag a copy of your database into the Office 2008 Identities folder. When
you open Entourage it will try to update the Identity.

How to manually move your data. (when import fails and/or you need to move
to a new Identity same version)

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/install/manual_install.html>

Select your version for details from the links at the bottom of the page.
