My Outlook folders are working on Outlook 2001 on my Mac - I don't have
them on a PC. This is PC software, right? I don't have a PC... Surely if
these messages can be accessed properly by Outlook on the Mac, there's some
way to export them on the same machine?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Paul -

When I run Outlook 2001, I can click on "work offline" and then I see my
local folders full of emails (this thing was, a long time ago, connected to
an exchange server, which is where they came from). Is there really no way
to export these local emails without going back and forth through a network?
I've got approximately 6 Gigs of emails and even if I hook up to an exchange
server, I'd have to do it in a lot of pieces. It would be a nightmare and
very slow. There's really no script for doing this locally? I have a
registered copy of your excellent import/export Entourage X scripts
(although I haven't been able to update to the latest version because Kagi
can't find my registration code) - is there anything there that works on
Outlook 2001?

Also, I noticed in the instructions for the PST Import Tool, the
following:

To diagnose and repair a corrupt PST file by using Inbox Repair Tool in
Windows
1 In Windows, click Start, and then click Windows Explorer.
2 In the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 folder,
double-click Scanpst.exe.
3 In Inbox Repair Tool, click Browse.
4 Locate the PST file you want to diagnose, and then click OK.
5 Click Start.

If there are no errors, the file can be imported by using the PST Import
Tool.
6 For details on errors in the PST file, click Details.
7 Select the Make a backup of scanned file before repairing check
box.
8 Click Repair.

The PST file is repaired and can now be imported into Entourage 2004 by
using the PST Import Tool.

I did that - it claimed it found 2 errors, and claimed to have fixed them.
I then brought the file back to the Mac, but PST Import Tool still refused
to import it...
