Here's what works for me...
Authored by: madmacs on May 15, '02 12:15:56PM

On WIndows, use Netscape Communicator or Netscape 6 to import from Outlook 95/98/2000 to a Netscape Mail folder - The default is "Outlook Mail".

Locate the Netscape Mail directory. You should be able to find a file "Outlook Mail" and a folder "Outlook Mail.sbd". The imported mail reside in the "Outlook Mail.sbd" folder. Transfer this folder to Mac OS.

On Mac OS, use a utility to change the Creator/Type of each file in the "Outlook Mail.sbd" folder to ttxt/TEXT.

Open Entourage and Import from the text files using the File/Import... menu. The imported Netscape mailbox should appear in the Entourage folder list.

Note that if you import a mailbox who name conflicts with an existing Entourage folder, a number will be appended to the mailbox name.

Hope this helps.
