[QUOTE="qc dsm tsi, post: 20766"] thanks for all the replies I figured it out... Ill explain just in case someone has the same problem. ***PC*** If you are using outlook as your main email client, you will have to use outlook express to convert the files from .pst to .eml (which reads like .mbox) Go to import on Outlook express and choose from another program, then outlook. Then just select the folders of mail you want. It will then transfer the emails to outlook express. To export those to a floppy or pen drive (thats what i used) you have to drag and drop from the inbox pane to a folder ( dont use the export feature, just drag and drop) ***MAC*** No take that folder from the pc and put it on your mac. Now for entourage to see the file you have to open up your inbox and create a temporary folder (create new folder, call it whatever you want, it will get deleted later.) Drag and drop you .eml files from your folder into the folder you just created. Now each email will be in its own folder, this is ok. Now to get those emails into your inbox, select the folder you created, and go to Edit\Advanced Find. Check "subfolders", and change "contains" to "doesnt contain" Now type in something that no email has in it, like "qqqqqqqqqq" that will select all of the emails. Now just drag and drop from the search window to your inbox folder. YOUR DONE!! I hope that helps at least someone out there. ps, I got this off of a write up online, and i lost the site. If anyone has seen it, please post it, I want to give the guy credit for this, IT SAVED ME A LOT OF trouble. pss Also i downloaded office2mac, and payed $10 for registration, and it did not work at all!!!!!!
