Running Outlook 2003

Running Outlook 2003

then you have a choice - either install Eudora, or a 4.x version of
Netscape. Copy the mbox file(s) into your mail profile directory on either,
launch the program, open the mail folder (that builds the index file) then
you can import in Outlook.

Here's another way to move MBOX mail into Outlook using a free utility
called IMAPSize:
