Transfer local folders

I need to move local folders from Outlook Express on G4, using OS X, to
Entourage 2004 on G5, using OS X. Where are the mail files located in both
Outlook Express and Entourage? What is the procedure? Is there a reference
URL at Microsoft site to explain this procedure? I appreciated any help for
Mac gurus.

Thank you in advance.

Outlook Express identities are located in one of these three locations:
G4/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Identities/
G4/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Identities/
/Outlook Express 5 Folder/Identities/

Find where your identity is stored by opening Outlook Express, going to File
Switch Identities, and creating a new identity with a unique name. Then,
Click to expand...
in the Finder, go to File > Find and search for the new name you just
created. You'll then find the correct "Identities" folder with your data.

Copy the "Identities" folder to the G5. Then, on the G5, open Entourage,
and go to File > Import. Choose to "Import information from a program" and
then choose "Outlook Express 5". You then just need to follow the
instructions. You might be prompted to locate your identity; in that case,
just navigate to the Identities folder you copied over and then locate your
old Outlook Express identity.
