Just install (and inspect if you wish) the "Import from Mail" script
supplied by Microsoft for Entourage X. It's in the Value Pack of the Office
v. X CD. The Value Pack installer should install in in Additional Tools
subfolder of Microsoft Office X folder.
If your CD is earlier than v10.1.1 (the update for Jaguar), and your OS is
10.2 or later, you need to re-apply a later update - make it the new combo
update 10.1.6 - _even if you have applied it before_. You need to apply the
Office Updater (again) after installing the Import from Mail script. It will
replace the old OS 10.1 version that came with the Office 10.0.0 CD with a
newer version for Jaguar and Panther.
The script works very well. You can open it in Script Editor if you want to
see what it does.
(If you have Entourage 2004 you do not need this script at all.
File/Import/from a Program/Apple Mail does the import for you - faster.)
