Check out these two links: This one if for a program that will convert from many mail (CE is one that is listed) programs Mac, PC and Unix (I think) to several formats including Mail.app http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/index.html This site talks about the above program a little bit. http://www.hawkwings.net/tag/claris-emailer/ I do not know how useful or helpful this is, it is just an other option for you and anyone else that is looking to do the same. PS I have nothing to do with either site / company at all. I found these while searching for a program to help out.
