Hi John,

I converted from Outlook to folder containing over 500 .MBOX files, each one with the original file path as it's file name. eg. "PersonalFolders_Inbox_BusinessServices_IT.mbox". Once I had imported these into Entourage 2008 for Mac, I now have (you guessed it) over 500 folders with the same original file path as the name.

Is there a quick way to create folders/subfolders within Entourage, or perhaps change all the .MBOX files before importing using Automator? Microsoft really haven't made it very easy. I've only been using Entourage for a week now, and this is the 2nd of two huge issues with the software.

Thanks,

Keenan

Hey John ... sorry it isn't working. I found this

Says it will directly import PST files ... might be worth a go?

Anon ... the export command is on the tools menu if you've installed the addon script. it should read "import/export in mbox/eml format"

if you haven't installed the addon, go back a couple of steps and try that again.

Hmm. I got to step 7, but then could not figure out what command to use to export my folders/subfolders in Thunderbird. I selected my folder and did "Export folder with subfolders (with structure)" but nothing happened, no file exported, nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I don't usually bother sending feedback, but in this case, my gratitude obliges me to do so.

I started the overhaul using the littlemachines software (becuase it seemed less manual) and couldn't figure out why I was getting stuck on the import, until I reread your comment about the .mbx instead of .mbox.... very tricky indeed for the PC minded.

Anyway, it's all done now. Thank you!
