German Outlook on PC --> Entourage on Mac

[s.u.steele]

Hi!

I just switched from a PC to a Mac and am trying to transfer emails
from a German Outlook (2003) into Entourage 2007 (v. 12.0.0) on a Mac
OS X (v.10.5.2).

I wanted to use the O2M (http://www.littlemachines.com/), but the
company said that its product is incompatible with non English-
language-characters.

Next I imported my Outlook email to Mozilla Mail and added an .mbox
extension. I copied the .mbox files to the desktop of my Mac and tried
dragging (and importing) the .mbox icon from the desktop to Entourage.

Although the .mbox files on the Desktop appear to be of the right
format, I'm not able to import them (either manually or by dragging
them to Entourage or its icon on the Dock). When I try to import it,
it will not allow me to select the file (it remains greyed out, as if
it doesn't recognize the format), and when I drag and drop, the email
contains no information. I've also converted them to .eml files - no
luck.

What else could I try?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Sonya

Hi Sonya,

I asked on another list and got this back:

Encoding?? Try changing the file encoding to either Mac or UNIX
using TextWrangler (free)
