How do I get email in MH format into Entourage on OS X?

June 14, 2004 2:54 PM

I've got a bunch of email in MH format that I would like to get into Entourage on OS X. Anything around that does this directlly or indirectly? [mi]

I've got a bash script that will do the conversion to mbox format (which Entourage will import) directory-by-directory but I've got a lot of email folders. The script also expects a bunch of things that are normal for a Linux install but aren't normal for OS X. It's been a while since I've done any bassh scripting but that's always a possibility. I was hoping for something that would do all the directories in a batch mode. Am I looking at a bash scripting session, or what?

I'm not sure if MH is the same as RFC-822 format, but you could try Emailchemy to see if it works. The program costs, but the demo should be sufficient to let you know whether it works before paying.

Hmmmm, looks like it could possibly work, but I'll have to see. I also have a bunch of old Claris emailer data and it will definitely convert those files. Thanks.
