Import Outlook Express (PC) emails into Mail
Authored by: ragarcia on Nov 30, '06 10:47:04AM

I folllowed the instructions in the scwie link. Except I forgot to change all my mailboxes from *.mbx to *.mbox

Mail did not care and imported them anyway. However, it kept the .mbx extension.

That is to say, inbox.mbx was imported as "inbox.mbx" instead of as "inbox" if I had changed the name to "inbox.mbox" before I imported it.

Of course, I double-clicked on the mailbox and renamed it to "inbox" and that was it.

Long story short, you don't have to rename your *.mbx files before you import them into Mail from Outlook Express.
