No no no. Nothing like that.
Best case, you use the Google-provided bulk email importer in my previous post. Worst case you set up Gmail as an IMAP account in Outlook and move folders over directly from personal folders in Outlook to folders in the Gmail IMAP account. Either one works. The latter is intuitive but takes way longer. Outlook Express must never darken our doors again - that way lies madness!!

I had to import the pst file into Outlook Express to have it convert it to a dbx file, then use a command line utility to convert to mbox, then use Pine mail (which i think is called something else now) on my Mac Mini to group-bounce the messages to google. At the time I read somewhere that I could also have imported directly to Eudora (which stores as mbox). Of course this was 3 years ago. What I did when I needed to do this a few weeks ago was setup Gmail IMAP on outlook, then move the folder from my local to the Imap. Worked great and even kept the correct arrival date (which the mbox-pine method didn't).
