Hi,

Moving completely away from my PC to New Imac and so I am on a steep learning curve.

I dont want to keep my PC around just to look at old emails that I might need. Is it possible to import all my old emails into Mail?

Thanks,

Mike

Which program are you currently using on your PC for email? If it's Outlook Express, Outlook, or Thunderbird, your old email messages can be converted to Mac Mail.

Regards.

Download the $10 program Outlook-to-Mac (O2M). It effortlessly converts your Outlook mail to Mac (MBOX, actually). Mac Mail will then import the MBOX files. Works like a champ. It'll be the best 10 bucks you ever spent! Note that it does not work directly with Outlook Express, but that is no problem if you have Outlook. Just import OE files into Outlook, using Outlook's import function, and you're golden.
