Moving email to a Mac

Wow what a problem I had today. One of my clients has decided to migrate to Apple Mac’s. So he gets me out to move his historical email from a Windows laptop and desktop to Entourage. Sounds simple enough right??? Right???

Wrong and I must say I was surprised. I tried a few methods.

Saving individual mails to a USB drive and attempting to copy them directly into the program.

Importing the PST file using pstimport from Microsoft.

Last I tried was to convert them all to Thunderbird and the importing the resulting files that way.

Unfortunately none of these methods worked or even looked like working.

I am not saying that just don’t work, its probably a case of me not having done it before and doing a lot of trial and error. Either way I sure would love to know of a good reliable way to move mail from Windows format to a Mac format.
