I tried this procedure with Outlook Express 6.0+, which uses .dbx files. Thunderbird (the latest available as of this posting) did not import anything at all. After reading other posts on the web, I used the free DbxConv to convert the .dbx files to .mbx files on the PC.

I then copied these to OS X Tiger (on an Intel Mac), changed the extensions to .mbox, and then imported them into Mail (using the Other option). It worked quite well.

[robg adds: I can't test this one, but it's a popular question. So if you try this, please comment here with the results -- how well did everything transfer into Mail?]
