[Moving this post from previous thread that was similar but not the same issue]

I have the latest version of MS Outlook running on my 27 Inch iMac that is running the latest version of Snow Lion. I had my local Apple store do the migration of my files from my old PPC Mac running 10.5.8 when I purchased my new iMac. However I am having trouble with moving files from Entourage version 12..3.5 (Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac). The Main Identity got corrupted and some of the files did not move over.

What I wanted to do was to select folders of important emails in Entourage, save them to my desktop by dragging them there (where they have a suffix of .mbox, use Dropbox to bring them over to my iMac and then import them using the directions presented in this thread. But when I follow the steps of File-Import-Contacts or Messages-.mbox files I am presented with a window where I can search for the .mbox file to import. But the file I just brought over to my iMacs desktop can be seen it is greyed out and cannot be selected.

How the heck do I bring these folders of email messages into Outlook?

I've tried exporting my Identity but that always gives me an error message. So what other choice do I have?

Any help would be appreciated.


I am looking for an email sent to me on 11/14 that may have gone into my spam file.  How do I access my spam file.
I flagged an email and then accidentally deleted it with other emails I did not want to keep.  All of the deleted emails wound up in the deleted file, but the flagged email disappeared.  I tried it with several other emails (flag the email and then hit the delete button), but I cannot find any of them.  Please help me recover the flagged/deleted emails.  Thanks.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a GIF file as my profile picture on Windows Live Messenger 2011. If so, could someone please tell me how to do it?
