hi, I've just got a new iMac- love it. However I need to Transfer all my saved emails from my old PC. I've been saving mail(100's of them] in a separate file on the PC and I can transfer the file listings ok, by copying them to a slave hard drive then by Firewire to the Mac. However they wont open on the Mac all I get is the icon.
The files were saved as Outlook express files on the pc.
Is there a way to do this and read the mail on the Mac.
Thanks very much for any help.

Sure: while in the application "Mail", just go to "File" and "Import Mailboxes" and follow the instructions you are presented with.

(edit: I'm sorry, I think this might only work with Outlook Express "for Mac" files. I'll let you know if I find another solution).
