OE and now Entourage are good programs that have worked for me for years, first under OS9 and now under OSX. You talk about importing or porting email from OE on one computer to OSX on another computer. Porting is not the word. Importing is transferring data from one program to another, but I don?t think you are doing that, either. You are probably just trying to transfer data between the same program on two computers. It is not clear whether the OE versions are both OS9, or one is OS9 and the other is OSX, or both are OSX. If you can't find how to make OE do it, perhaps you could copy the Main Identity folder from the old OE to the new OE. Remove the default new Main Identity folder from the new OE and store it somewhere. Then drag the old Main Identity folder in its place. OE on the TiBook should then begin using the new Main Identity folder. If this does not work, put everything back the way it was.
