HELP!! Moving old emails from Outlook Express (OS9) to Entourage OSX / Entourage Upgrade Problem

[Mickey Stevens]

Use Automator (in the Applciations folder). Make sure all the e-mail files
are copied into a folder on your hard drive. Try a workflow like this:
1. Ask for Finder Items / Type: Folders
2. Get Folder Contents
3. Rename Finder Items / Add Text: Add eml as extention

Then, press the "Run" button on the toolbar. In the dialog box that
appears, select the folder with the e-mails and then click "Choose". Then
they should all be renamed automatically.

I have Microsoft Entourage on my MAC BOOK PRO OSX 10.5 and I'm using the mail that comes with the mac pro. The problem is is that when opening up Entourage I receive 2 of the same e-mails That I get with mail as 1 e-mail that you are suppose to get can you tell me how to fix this problem and please use lay mens terms for me so that I can understand.
Thank you

Thanks Mickey! The Automator worked great (I then used it to add extensions for some other files I brought over).

Problem solved. All of my old OE 5.0 emails are now in Entourage 2008.
