Hi Peter, I’m sorry, I obviously did not read your first email thoroughly :( This is a 2009 solution, so have no idea if it will solve your problem. 1. Copy entire Windows Mail folder into your Mac OS X. You can find it in your Windows machine under Users/[your username profile]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail 2. Install Thunderbird on your Mac. 3. Install this AddOn on Thunderbird : <http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html> 4. Restart Thunderbird. Under Tools menu you can find Import/Export mbox/eml format. Select Import all eml files from a directory, then also from sottodirectories. Browse to location where you copied Windows Mail folder. 5. Import from Thunderbird into Mail.
