A question for Paul--Paul, will your script also move folders? I have just upgraded from Entourage to Entourage X. Everything transferred over fine, except none of my folders or subfolders were imported. In my case, this constitutes a lot of mail. If I use your script will this allow folders and subfolders to be imported?
