No, it doesn't. You need to give it a huge amount of memory to deal with
such a huge database import. And you also need to do a rebuild in the
exporting identity (OE) before beginning all this - any corruption there,
which might not be very evident to you - will mess up the import process.
Unfortunately, the rebuild engine in OE is not as good as in Entourage, so
badly corrupted identities may possibly not get fixed. Fortunately, it
doesn't sound as if your identity was badly corrupted, if at all.

That's because they aren't the same accounts in Entourage, just the same
email addresses. You could quite easily write a script to say "if email
address is such and such, then set account of the message to such and such".
I can't recall at this moment if you can change accounts of received
messages or if you'd have to make a duplicate with the same message source
but different account and delete the original, but either way, it could be
done. Does it matter all that much?

Yes.
