Import from non-MS program, data in plain text format

I use an email system that is NOT Microsoft. I am considering migrating to
Outlook - or Outlook Express.

The current program will export emails in plain text format, so-called
"Berkley mailbox format". But Outlook does not appear to import plain text.
I don't understand why. If my current program can import plain text and
parse it sensibily into emails (and pre-populate the address book), then
presumably Outlook must be similarly competent.

I'd be grateful for your suggestions: how can I resolve this?

Kind regards

Have you checked Outlook Express also? If OE will import the mail file, you
can export the messages to Outlook if that's what you'd prefer to use.
