import e-mails from PC to Mac

[Alexandre A. Povolotski]

Pls help. Don't know what to do. I'm in dispair! Can't import e-mails
from MS Outlook XP on PC into Entourage X or Mail on Mac OS X Panther.

Read the instructions on mactopia.com that said "just save your
e-mails as individual files, bring them to your mac and just drag them
in Entourage inbox". It simply doesn't work. I did save those e-mails
as individual files and has got around 200 .msg files, I did bring
them to my Mac, but the dragging into the inbox of Entourage part
didn't work out. They simply cannot be dragged into an inbox. I don't
get it. May be it's me who's dummy. I don't think so.

Before writing such instructions as they did on mactopia.com, do they
test what they write?

i'm pretty sure you have to save them as .eml files. i only did this outlook
express (and ended up uploading to an imap server and downloading again, but
you can't do that in outlook as far as i know) and as i dragged into
entourage it created a new folder with the single message inside. can be
tedious if you have a lot of message to move but it did work. see if there's
an option to save as .eml
