Exporting entire mail in-boxes

S

Steve Crabtree

Hello,

I¹ve just created a new account and wish to take over my old messages into
my new in-box, but don¹t know how. I knew how to do this on Outlook Express,
but can¹t find a similar way to export the folder in its entirety.

Can anyone help?

You can drag each folder and subfolder to the desktop, switch Identities and
drag back in.

.....or get this script


Export Folders 1.1 

Freeware | 5.19.03 | Script #1118

Entourage has the ability to export a folder full of messages as an industry
standard 'UNIX-like' Mailbox format (MBOX file). This is a quick and easy
way of archiving mail out of Entourage, either for routine backup or when
changing mail porgrammes.

However, if you have a lot of folders, frequently nested several levels
deep, this process becomes a tedious and time consuming one. This script
will save ALL your folders, now matter how deep they are nested (well, OK,
there will be a limit, but it's more than 8 levels in tests I have carried
out)
