importing mac mail into entourage 08

hi guys,

got my address book in after a bit of searching, that was not in the local help file by the way. i'd suggest you add that to the automated account setup of mail when you import messages.

my question is this:

imported my account and mailboxes and settings from mac mail (two seperate pop3 gmail based accounts). it looks fine except for the existing messages in the inbox for both accounts locally on my machine. they did not import. what should i do?

thank you.

ps great job on office and entourage. these were sorely missed while i struggled with iworks for the past 3 months as a new mac guy that was using vista.

This is what I see in Help:

Import contacts from Mac OS X Address Book

You can export one or more of your contacts from the Mac OS X Address Book
as an electronic business card, also called a vCard, and then drag the vCard
file into Entourage to import your contacts.

1. Export your contacts from Address Book as a vCard file. For instructions,
see "Exporting contacts" in Mac OS X Address Book Help.

2. Drag the vCard file from its location on your hard disk to the Contacts
pane in Entourage 2008.

In Entourage 2008 Help, there is an option at the bottom:
