Posting again. Diane was going to check this out and never posted back any info. There has got to be others in this situation.
I have 2 users that would just drag the e-mail from the Outlook 2001 window to their desktop or Mac folder of choice. It would then copy it there with a nice little envelope icon. Then later on when they needed to reference that e-mail, they would double click it, Outlook would launch and open the e-mail.
On Intel Macs, OS 9 is dead, so Outlook 2001 is also dead. I have not found an OS X program that can open and read these files. Word can open them, but with lots of formatting junk strewn throughout the file. Not user friendly.
MOST IMPORTANT PART THAT EVERYBODY SKIPS!
The two users have filed their e-mail this way for 5 years and it is scattered all over folders, CDs and servers. It is not filed within Outlook 2001 and it's folders. It is a single e-mail that was dragged out of Outlook to a Mac folder.
Now imagine a server with thousands of files and folders for projects spanning years. DVDs also. CDs also.
They nested these e-mail files with the Illustrator or Photoshop files in the folder they belonged with.
I have tested Entourage with drag and drop with these files. It does not work. Outlook 2001 saved them in a very proprietary format.
Outlook 2001 will not work. This is an Intel Mac.
Collecting them will not work. I could hire an intern and pay them weeks of intense labor to search through server volumes, DVDs and CD.
Not gonna happen.
