IMPORTING 11K MESSAGES FROM APPLE MAIL

T

I am trying to set-up my Entourage for the first time. I have encountered a
problem where not all of my messages are being Imported. Only 700 of my
11,000 emails have transferred.

Also, my Apple Mail folders are not transferring into Entourage.

Entourage Tech Support couldn't help me. Im ready to not use it at all.

You need to export your mail in Apple Mail as MBOX files.

Open Mail > Select one or more mailboxes to archive.

To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list,
hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes
that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click
each mailbox.

Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action
pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.

Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives,
and then click Choose.

Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you¹ve already archived a
mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to
the filename to create a new version of it.

See this movie for dealing with MBOX files:
