Hi there...I am getting tired of using Outlook Express in Classic to

Bill -- I switched to Mail from Outlook a couple of months ago and went
through all that. First, your *addresses* don't go into Mail at all,
but into Addressbook, which at first glance seems to offer no way to
import them. There are lots of klutzy workarounds, and also an easy
slick one: there's an AppleScript (in your AppleScripts folder, and
very readily available if you add the Scripts Menu to your menu bar)
that does it beautifully, even saving comments and (snail) mailing
addresses.
As for importing mail itself, presumably you've used the Import
Mailboxes command on Mail's file menu: what happens? ie why doesn't
that work? It did for me -- all the messages came over in one Imported
Mail folder, but the original folder structure was maintained and easy
to reconstruct.
HTH,
Best.
