Release Notes:
That script doesn't import Apple Mail to Entourage.
The slow way:
If these are local folders "On My Mac" in Mail.app drag them to the desktop.
(If they're IMAP folders, why not just create the same IMAP account in
Entourage and access the server and folders directly?)
You should see them as .mbox files there with a Mail icon. Control click on
each and choose "Open With" and choose Entourage in the Open dialog. You can
select to Always open with Entourage and the icon will change to an
Entourage icon, if you wish. You'll get a dialog asking if you want to
import - click Yes. There you are - done. Repeat for each folder.
(Subfolders have to be dragged separately.) If you chose to Always open with
Entourage you'll just have to double-click each one rather than
control-click.
OR - you can use a script applet provided by MS with Entourage. It's in the
Value Pack on your Office CD - install it on your Hard Disk via the Value
Pack Installer. It's called "Import from Mail". If your Office CD is a
version earlier than 10.1.2, then you must (re-)apply the Office 10.1.2
Updater from the MacTopia website , even if you already did this once - it
will replace "Import from Mail" with a new Jaguar/Panther version. (Open it
up - it's a very interesting script.) Double click it to import all your
Mail.app folders at once.
