[QUOTE="Junie142, post: 533829, member: 42114"] [b]PC to Mac Mail[/b] Hi there, I'm not sure if you're still looking for a solution to the original post, but I thought I'd share my experience with exporting my mail from Outlook 2007 to Entourage. Specifically, I downloaded Mozilla's email program - thunderbird. I thien ran it for the first time after it was set-up, at which time I was asked if I'd like to import anything. I imported my Outlook mail to this program. Once that was done, I went looking for the thunderbird folder in which all my personal Outlook folders were stored into. I went into "My settings and documents" in the PC, then to my username, and found the Applications folder. You will find the Applications folder by going to "folder options" and disabling the hidden folders option (making the folders visible). Once you're in the Applications folder, you find the thunderbird sub-folder, then the profile sub folder, and then the mail sub folder. In said folder you will find duplicates of all the personal folders (i.e. inbox, sent items, etc.) you had in Outlook. Some of the files will have the .msf extension - you want the version that does not have this extension. Copy the files without the .msf extension into one folder on your desktop, and once you've done that, add the .mbox extension to each of these files in the desktop folder. Send this folder to the Mac, and once there, click on each of the files (which represent each of your folders you had in Outlook, which now have the .mbox extension). The computer will ask you to find the program you want to use, and you simply choose Entourage. And there you have it! I hope I didn't miss a step, and I hope this is useful - if not for you, anyone else who has gone through numerous websites to find an answer. Take care, Luis [/QUOTE]
