That's not importing. :-) Actually, there no such thing as "OE 98". I assumed John meant "OE 5" (more or less contemporaneous with Mac Office 98 - I think maybe Fall 1999). OE 5 did of course exist when Entourage 2001 was released two years later but, as Diane says, there's no "Import Entourage" feature IN OE 5 since Entourage didn't exist. Furthermore, OE can't import .mbox files even though Entouarge 2001 can export them (by dragging folders out). So the only left must be: drag out individual messages from Entourage to a Finder folder on the desktop (not safe to do more than about 1000 at a time). This makes multiple .eml files. You _could_ drag those into OE, but why not just drag them into a fresh Entourage identity? Much easier. But if you can't open the bad Entouarge identity in the first place, this won't work anyway. Can John have possibly meant copying the "Messages" file from an Entourage identity folder into an OE identity folder?? Wow - I can't imagine that would be safe. It shouldn't cooperate with the Database file it's now linked to, I wouldn't have thought. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
