where is imported mail stored?

I've imported a large amount of mail into Entourage from the Apple
program Mail. Now I can't find the mail in Entourage. Two folders
labeled "Mail Import" are empty. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in
advance.

Hi Mark.
I've experienced the same thing. Whenever I import my messages from Mail
using Entourage 2004's File>Import, only messages in folders I've created
myself show up, whereas the imported "inbox" folder remains empty. I don't
know why this happens, or what's causing it, but I've found a way around
this import process. In Mail, simply drag and drop your individual folders
onto the desktop, where they will appear as .mbox files. Drag these files
into your folder list in Entourage, and you'll see the folders there, with
all the messages they contain.
Hope this was helpful

Michel,

Thanks very much for your insight into this process.
I hope Microsoft is listening: Entourage Import doesn't work as
advertized.
