Import Mail From Outlook

Open Outlook Express on your PC.
1. Highlight all mail in a folder e.g. "important mail", and
drag them into a any folder on your hard drive (ideally -
outlook mail/important). Having Outlook
ok&action=edit> run in window mode (not
fullscreen) and dragging the mail to a folder on your
desktop seems to be the easiest way, because you dont
have to switch windows.
2. Make as many folders and fill them this way as you
have/need, then copy them to your Mac.
3. Start Microsoft
Entourage
rage&action=edit> on your Mac (A trial 'Test
Drive' version of Microsoft Office

comes with any new Mac).
4. Drag them into a folder the same way as you exported
them on your pc.
5. Now you should have the mail in Entourage.
6. Mail can now
import mailboxes from Entourage.
don't forget to delete all the other mails (in folders,
entourage, outlook), all those mails usually fill up pretty
much space on your drives

Alternative Method
another possibility is to intall mozilla thunderbird (free) on your pc
1. it will ask you during install if it should import from outlook -
do so
2. now it the mails should be in thunderbird
3. you can just take the thunderbird forlder (find in user files)
and move them to your mac
4. find files with the name of your mailboxes (they dont have a
suffix) and rename them to nameofthefile.mbox
5. and open them WITH entourage
6. if you want to have them in mail - drag and drop them from
entourage to mail
