Good Day:

I have an unusual issue that I hope someone can help.

I have tried several times to either export Entourage emails by dragging the Inbox to the desktop and creating a ".mbox" file. However (even after reading several post and NOT selecting the file itself) tried to import it into Mail. It only worked once, but only importing emails up to a certain date - not the entire Entourage inbox. After deleting the "inbox.mbox" file and trying again, it just does not work. I get the same .mbox files do not exist error that others have experienced.

I have also tried to import via Mail using the Import function and selecting Entourage rather than .mbox. However only emails up to a certain date are imported. When I try this function again, emails are imported, but up to a certain - this time different- date. The number of emails that are imported seems to be random at best.

Although it is possible that the number of emails I am trying to import number (around 16,000) is creating it's own set of troubles for Mail, any assistance and/or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Somehow I get the impression I am going to have to find a script to manually move these files and/or go into the library/mail and work from there.
