Importing address book and emails from a PC to a Mac

[Luis Ortega]

I would like to get my address book contents from Outlook Express into my Mac Pro's Mail address book.
Is there some easy way to do this? I'm on OSX 1.5.2.

Also, is it possible to copy over my sent items folder from Outlook Express into the Mac?

I have a lot of saved emails in OE that I will need to have access to from the Mac, and I would also like to avoid having to manually redo my entire address book.

Are Safari and Mail the best apps to use on a Mac for email and internet, or should I install something else?
Should I just forget the whole thing and install Win XP on the Mac so that I can use my OE stuff?

Thanks a lot for any advice.
