Alrighty, I need some help really fast as i am at a customer's place and they have a windows xp laptop that was running outlook express 6 with lots of mail folders in OE. So, I found where all the mail folders were and copied them over to the mac. Now i want to get those dbx files into Entourage, but entourage only takes mbox files. Does anyone know where to go from here? PLEASE help!!

Alright guys, i got the first part done and converted the dbx files to the mbx extension. Now, heres the wierd thing. Mail will import them all and let me see them but Entourage will not let me import the mbx files. They are just greyed out and dont work.
