OK so the only thing i've been able to find online, on how to do this, is an Apple doc that says, Go to the menu, choose import mail boxes and follow the onscreen instructions. Now I've imported netscape mail into mail.app a hundred times, but this OE mail sucks. I guess it has to actually launch Outlook to get the mail somehow. The only problem is, whenever I launch outlook in the new machine (whose HD I imaged exactly, and mounted on the new machine and set as the Classic system folder), all 2 GB of mail is gone. Just one single "welcome to outlook" email is in there. Where does all the mail go, and how can I import it?!?! I told them, they should have stayed with Netscape!!!
