Exporting mail

[dodge159]

Hi
I am trying to export my mail from Mail 5.0 to Outlook for Mac 2011 (Microsoft office for mac2011)
I have followed the guides but when i try to find the Mail app in the import steps of outlook it is not there. I have tried to import mbox files that I have saved to my desktop but when i navigate there the files are greyed out and i cannot import them. Please help..

There is no import between Apple Mail and Outlook at this time. Neither app will import from the other.

Mail makes a non standard .mbox file so that option is out. The best option is to use IMAP to transfer messages. Contacts and Calendars will sync.
