Reader Simon White has found himself sucked into the black hole that can be Outlook 2011.

Initially I thought that continuing to use Outlook would be the way to go, so I installed Outlook 2011 for the Mac.

So I decided to try using MailAddress BookiCal only to find that I cannot export my data from Outlook in any format other than.olm, which Apple programs cannot read.

Is there a way to get my events out of Outlooks calendar and into iCal.

Its at times like these that I wish my response was accompanied by an animated GIF of me banging my head against the desk.

Because thats exactly the kind of reaction I have to Outlooks terrible syncing support.

Unlike Entourage, Outlook doesnt offer an option for syncing calendar events (you can sync contacts, however).

This is a feature thats been promised for a future Outlook update but Microsoft hasnt said when we might expect that update.

And, as youve discovered, iCal looks at.olm archives and shrugs its virtual shoulders.

But there is a waytedious and tiresome, granted, but still, a way.

That way is to select an event within Outlooks calendar and drag it to the iCal icon in the Dock (or, if you like, drag it to the Desktop and then drag it into iCal).

You do not have the option to select all events in a monthly calendar or even Shift- or Command-click multiple events.

Ideally, you havent been at this too long and you can return to your PC and export your calendars from there because, yes, its easier to do this from Outlook for Windows than Outlook for the Mac.

To do that, just right-click on a calendar in Outlook for Windows and from the menu that appears choose Save As.

The default option is to save the calendar in the iCalendar format.

Copy these calendars to your Mac and drag them on to the iCal icon in the Dock.

All the events in the exported Outlook calendar will be added to your iCal calendar.
