Entourage is a Mac-based email client and personal information manager that was developed by the IT giant – Microsoft, for Mac OS 8.5 and higher versions. However, it has been discontinued now. This is one of the reasons why users want to migrate from Entourage to Outlook<\/a> for Windows. Besides this, users switch to Microsoft Outlook due to the various impressive features it offers such as storing contacts, sharing calendars, creating tasks, etc.<\/p>
