I'm posting this technical inquiry in this thread because I'm not clear where else it would be appropriate to post. Anyone with tech knowledge that might help will be greatly appreciated ...

I'm in the process of switching from pc to mac. My current pc is using Windows XP and my email is all on Outlook Express. I've just discovered that it's not an easy process to export / transfer either my Address Book [now designated as *.wab files] or my email filing system (quite extensive folders / sub-folders) & the emails within them (hundreds of individual emails, many business related).

A smart person at the Apple store pointed me to a downloadable software called O2M (www.littlemachines.com) that helps to convert & move email from pc to mac -- BUT it doesn't work with Outlook Express:
... O2M may be the fastest way to move your Windows® Outlook® email, contacts, and calendar appointments from your PC to your Macintosh® computer!IMPORTANT NOTES — PLEASE READ
1. Only U.S./English versions of Windows and Outlook are supported at this time ...2. Outlook Express is NOT supported. Outlook Express files may be transferred into supported versions of Outlook, and then converted by O2M. I've googled to find a way to do this conversion ^ but keep running up against technical language that is turning my brain to mush.

The Apple folks are pretty helpful with all sorts of other stuff but it seems that Microsoft has made this task very tricky and nearly impossible to achieve (especially in regards to Outlook Express).

Can anyone offer any help that will get my email moved from an old dying pc to a new iMac?

I'm more than happy to give more info if it will assist in getting my emials & address book transferred.

Thanks in advance ...
