Perform a search on your local HD for Main Identity...and follow that path...

Umm, you may need to Import the Outlook Express stuff into Entourage first, and then try importing into Mail.app from Entourage...

any other way to access this? i even tried adding ".mbox" to the file...

Are you using the "built-in" Import function of Entourage to do this?
Just wondering.

I did this a while ago on my wife's PowerBook, but I don't remember exactly what I did (IIRC, I exported from Outlook Express to text files, then imported into Mail). I do know, however, that I could only get messages, not attachments.
