Problem importing mail from Apple Mail to Entourage

[Adiel Akplogan]

Hello I'm having terrible problem importing my mails from Apple Mail to
entourage. Actually I'm Apple and MacOX newly converted. I'm transferring my
mails from Eudora to MAC. The import to Mac Mail work pretty well, but I
preferred to use Entourage but when I try the importation of my about 200
mailboxes the transfer stopped (after more than 44 hours of importing) but
unfortunately not all the mailboxes where transferred about only half of
them. When I do the same thing from Mac Mail to Eudora 6.5 I got the same
thing it stopped uncompleted. Do you know about any limitation of the
Entourage import tool or any tool that exist to do this kind of importation
easily I'm desperately trying to find a way of making this work ... as I'm
more than 3 days without my mails.

Please help.

How big are your files? 44 hours is not right or you have the largest stash
of mail in history.

Are you importing from Apple Mail or from Eudora? See these directions.
They are really old, but AFAIK they still work.

When I do the same thing from Mac Mail to Eudora 6.5 I got the same

Sounds like problems in your files. If they are MBOX this sounds unlikely.
Are the files on the same drive? Exactly what and how are you doing the
import?

Entourage import varies. It depends on the platform and age of software you
are trying to import.

See these movies for dealing with MBOX and .rge files.
