There are a number of ways to get your emails over from a PC to a Mac (e.g. doing “The IMAP Shuffle” or using a program like Outlook2Mac), but you can also do it using an open source utility called DbxConv. Here’s how:

1. Download DbxConv and unzip it into a new folder on your PC’s c: drive (e.g. c:\emails).

2. Locate all your Outlook Express mailboxes (search for *.dbx in Windows Explorer) and copy them over into the same folder (e.g. c:\emails). If you use Outlook, you could try importing all the mail in your .pst file into Outlook Express first and then copying the .dbx files into the folder after that.

3. Open a DOS prompt window (Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > DOS Prompt) or click on Run in the Start Menu, type in cmd and press enter.

4. Navigate to the folder you created (e.g. c:\emails).

5. Type:

6. All your .dbx files will be converted into .mbx format.

7. Transfer all the resulting files over to your Mac and put them in a folder (maybe on your Desktop).

8. Open Mail and select “Import Mailboxes” from the File menu. Select “Other”, then check the “Mailboxes (mbox format)” and tell Mail where you saved the transferred files.

9. Voila! All done.
