I'll start with this: I am not a Mac guy. I don't have anything against them, I just don't use them or have anything to do with them in my day to day work.
A client of mine got himself a MacBook a while ago and he really just uses it for email/internet etc. He's decided that he needs a netbook for when he travels so I spent an afternoon setting it up with all his apps etc. I ran into a HUGE problem when I needed to move his email over to the netbook. The mac's mail app does not have an export function at all.
After much googling I ended up with a very crappy work around (select all mail > save as > move the mail archive to a Windows PC, import it into Eudora, then I ran it through Emailchemy which then allowed me to import it into Outlook in a bit of a mess - all emails were attachments of an email in the archive, but my client was happy enough with it as he won't be using it too often. On the other hand I'm not happy as it was messy as hell and want to get this right.
Anyone run into this sort of thing? Is there a slightly less complicated way of exporting the mail to a PST or something Outlook can read?
