No, Allen, that doesn't work for Mail 2.0 in Tiger. Mail now uses different (so-called) mbox packages, which are actually folders containing many files and a Messages subfolder containing separate XML-content message files with .emlx extension. (This makes it possible for Spotlight to index and search them all.) Entourage has no way of dealing with those folders. These were invented after Entourage 2004 shipped.
But if you go into each mail folder in mail, select All messages, make sure they're all downloaded, then File/Save As/Raw Message Source, you end up with a file with no extension that's actually a good old-fashioned .mbox file. Do a Get Info on one of them (control=click or cmd-I) and set Entourage to open it, click Change All. Double-clicking it brings up an Entourage dialog to import it as a mail folder. (You can't drag it in since it doesn't actually have an Entourage icon.) That way you can import all your Mail folders into Entourage. Only do this for local (POP) mail folders. For IMAP. just create the account in Entourage and you'll find all the IMAP folders on the server. -- 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.
