Moving Outlook: Mail to a Mac

Q. I am thinking of buying a MacBook to replace my Windows laptop. Is there a way to move the Microsoft Outlook file (e-mails, contacts and calendars) between a PC and a Mac?

A. Picking up your life in Outlook and moving it over to a Mac is certainly possible, and you can do it in a number of ways. One easy option is to use an inexpensive program like Outlook2Mac ($10 at www.littlemachines.com) to do the heavy lifting between Outlook and mail programs on the Mac.
