Sure, it's easy.

In Outlook, Export (I think it's under File) -- it'll offer you several
options I think. As Mail can only import "Mailboxes" that's what you
want to export.

In Mail, do the opposite; import the file you just created (exported)

For your contacts, you'll have to import them into Address Book, and I
can't recall if Outlook lets you export just contacts. I think you can,
but first you must be in the contact list/address book, and then Export
should be available.

Good luck....

To import the email, use the Import Mailboxes command from Mail's File
menu. Outlook Express is among the options listed.

To import the contacts, see:
