import mail from Tiger

Hello everyone,

it seems the import from Apple Mail no longer works with Tiger.

Anyone knows of a maildir to mbox converter on Mac OS X, or any other
way to do it?

Thanks.

Hello Gabriel

It¹s not a problem with Entourage, Apple decided to change the way in which
Mail in Tiger stores messages. Instead of a single MBOX file Apple have
changed storage to folder containing all messages as individual .emlx files.
The good news is that this makes it really simple to import them back into
Entourage, all you need to do is rename all of the .emlx files to .eml and
then drag and drop them into whichever Entourage folder you want to put them
in. Just bear in mind that if you are transferring thousands of messages it
may take a while.

All the best
Nick
