Just imported my mail from Entourage to Mail on my new MBP. Haven't used Mail before and it seems to have messed some things up...

One, the date sent has been changed to the time of the import for a whole bunch of my email (but not all). This is not good because I often search for what I need by date sent. I doubt this can be fixed now but is there a way to import that keeps dates intact?

Two, oddly enough, there is no "subject" option for ordering mail in the "Columns" pull-down menu under "View". Again subject is a pretty important piece of info that i use in searches. Any body know how to get subject in columns?

Three, there are four main headings in my folder list: Mailboxes, On My Mac, Krx@ ... (my email address), and RSS. I would like my mail to be consolidated under one main heading. Is there a way to do this?

Also, Entourage apparently shutdown before completing the import so I need to do at least a partial import again. So having to re-import all of it wouldn't be much more work (tho it did take awhile). Is there a better tool for importing than the Mail import tool?

Thanks for any and all input!

I don't know the answers to the other questions, but subject is always listed, so it is not an optional column from the View menu. Are you saying you don't see the subject column in Mail?

You ever open the fridge, look around for awhile, and yell, "honey where's the #$*(!)$@*% mayonnaise?"

Then your wife walks up and barely looking pulls it off the shelf right in front of your eyes?

Yes I see it now.

Thanks.

Still wondering if there's a better way to import from Entourage into Mail than the Mail import tool - which failed miserably.
