HOW DO I TRANSFER MACINTOSH OUTLOOK EXPRESS EMAIL TO PC OUTLOOK/OUTLOOK
EXPRESS, AND VISA VERSA?

-You have 4 choices:

TO DISK: PC TO MACINTOSH
------------------------
Before you import these PC files, you need to setup the Mac to correctly
recognise those files as OE email docs. Go to File Exchange control
panel,
and create a new entry..

1) The PC file extension will be ".eml" (without the "").
2) The application to use to recognise the file will obviously be Outlook
Express for Macintosh v5.0x (in this example).
3) The file TYPE will be "M822" (don't type in the "").
4) OK your entry and quit the control panel.
5) You can now insert the PC Zip/floppy disk.
6) Drag and drop all of the email files onto OE's (Mac Edition) Inbox
window, or into any folder that you have made in OE. These emails will
appear as unread, boldened, messages.
7) All done.

TO DISK: MACINTOSH TO PC
------------------------
In order for the PC to recognise Outlook Express's email file format, you
will have to append a dot three character extension to ALL files...

1) If need be, create some folders in the finder, in order to organise
your
saved to disk email messages.
2) Go through all of your folders in the Mac version of OE, and save them
to
disk. To do this quickly you can select all emails in each folder and
simply
drag 'n drop them, but only if you have v5.0x Macintosh edition (previous
versions don't) into your [hard disk] folder(s), that you have prepared.
4) Ensure that all saved email files have the ".eml" filename extension
on
them.
3) Now copy them to a PC Zip/floppy disk.
4) On the PC side, you should be able to drag 'n drop them into OE's
Inbox
window, or into any folder that you have made in OE. These emails will
appear as unread, boldened, messages.

TO EMAIL BOX: VIA POP MAIL SERVER
---------------------------------
1) Select all emails and click on 'Forward', or with a Rule; you can set
it
to send any emails in a specific folder to a specified email address - a
sort of 'drop folder'.
2) Type in your email address, and click 'Send' (only useful for a
handful of emails).
3) SETTING UP A RULE (FOR MACINTOSH):
a) Make a new rule for your Mail account.
b) In the Rule window set the 'If' section to: 'Folder' - 'Is' '<your
forwarding folder>'
c) In the 'Then' section, set it to: 'Forward to' and enter your email
address.
d) Ensure that this box.. "Stop applying rules to this message" is
ticked.
e) Now edit the 'Send & Receive' schedule to only send emails, so that
you
don't receive what you just sent.
4) Go to your PC, and download your emails.

TO EMAIL BOX: VIA IMAP MAIL SERVER
----------------------------------
Same sort of procedure as the POP Mail Server, except you can organise
those
emails on the server.
