Import Outlook Express (PC) emails into Mail
Authored by: OCStingFan on Dec 06, '06 03:09:39PM

I have emails in OE on an OS9 iMac from 2000-2005, and another batch of emails from 2005-2006 in OE 6 on a Windows XP PC.

I would like both sets of emails on my new Macbook, in a single email client.

I can save the Mac OE individual emails by dragging into a folder on the OS9 desktop, and these can then be added in OSX Entourage via Drag and Drop. I'm not sure if they can be added to OSX Mail in the same way. I also don't know if attachments will remain intact in the transfer to mbox format.

I intend to use the dbxconv utility for the OE email files on the PC, transfer them to the Macbook, and import into Mail. Likewise, i am wondering about attachments remaining intact.

Does this sound like a good plan? Any issues or suggestions I should consider? Thanks in advance.
