Has anyone used the AOL Service Assistant to transfer AOL PFC to Mac Mail? I am transferring from one Mac to another Mac...both with OSX 10.4.11

Does the AOL Service Assistant ask for files to be selected to transfer to Mac Mail...I transferred PFC files from another Mac and stored in a special folder on my current Mac.
Switcher and damn glad...with iMac and PB who would not be happy!

Since my message, I have used the AOL Service Assistant and transferred saved AOL email messages (personal filing cabinets) to Mail which shows up in Import Mailbox. I tested the messages and the migration to Mail worked well. But, here is my problem...the imported messages are in Mail on my old computer but I cannot transfer the imported messages to Mail on my new iMac.

Please help!

Is there any reason you can't transfer the mailboxes from YourHomeFolder\Library\Mail\Mailboxes ?

Sorry to state the obvious but what about Apple's Migration assistant, does it work for you?

BTW, I had read somewhere that there was some issue with AOL Service Assistant and latest AOL Desktop software, just in case you were using it -besides Apple's Mail-.
