My wife has been secretary of an organisation and has saved about

convert them all to Word documents.
Hi Kevin,
This isn't always easy since Outlook and Outlook Express don't use
the mbox format.
I'm hoping someone else has suggested something .... but if not .....
You could try this.
There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts that can be
downloaded from the following link. They are for OSX 10.4 Tiger.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use is Archive Messages (Mail) which moves messages
from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to
standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import
into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only
messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based
on their read and flagged status.
Try exporting the folder of messages as plain or rich text files for
import into either Outlook or Outlook Express.
Cheers,
Ronni
