i just switched to mac... love it. my biggest problem though is that i can't import my outlook express mail even though there's an import feature on mac mail that has an option to import outlook express files. I guess it doesn't work because my OE extension files are .dbx... i know that they have to be converted to .mbox.
Here's the one big set-back... my PC completely died. ...it won't turn on again. I was able to retrieve my PC hard-drive and put it into an enclosure -- making it an external hard drive. Although mac can read many files on this hard drive, it cannot read/import the OE .dbx files.
I really want to retrieve my several thousand emails and contacts. The mac people at the genius bar were of no help (of course, I end up getting the rude guy while the two people around me got very friendly people that may have been able to help me... or at least give me hope on retrieving these emails!).
Can anyone help me? The free software (dbx converter... or it's called something like that) doesn't work for me since there is no actual PC to work from.
thanks!!
