Im trying to import my Aunts email from Outlook Express 6 into Apple Mail, and cant get it working. I just assumed it would work like ti did when I switched years ago, but apparently Apple took out the option to Import from OE. The files from OE are .dbx files. I have tried 2 command line utilities for Windows, and Mac to try to convert them to .mbox files but couldn't get them to work. I have also tried to import them into Thunderbird and then export them to .mbox files, but Thuderbird won't import OE mail, even though it says it does. I have also tried Eudora, and no luck either.. I did find one solution using Entourage, but it is a HUGE pain especially since she has like 25 different subfolders in her mail, there has to be an easier way.

Please help! :)
