You can import into Entourage or Outlook on the Mac from Apple's Mail and then export and take to the PC.

I don;'t have Outlook and don't know about that. Microsoft Entourage comes with Apple scripts to import mail from Apple Mail, then you could export from there and take to the PC and try importing.

i tried to export from apple mail to entourage, and it worked but not 100% some, if not halp of the e-mails were lost! and i could move further from there. i dont know where do entourage keep all the messages/boxes so that i can know what file should i convert to be dbx (which is compatible for outlook windows.
so, could you tell me where can i find all the boxes in entourage? and what are there extensions?
thank you

Entourage Database for mail is here;

user>documents>microsoft user data>Office identity>main identity>database

Opening that will just open Entourage. The only way I know is what you did, export from Entourage.

Exporting from Entourage the file should have '.rge' as the extension.
