Outlook 2003.

Okay, I have reviewed the slipstick website and found it
to be fairly useful. But I still can't figure out how to
convert my old "mailbox" formatted messages to Outlook
2003.

The slipstick suggestion seems to be to converto to
Eudora and then have Outlook pick up Eudora mail. I can
get the messages into Eudora, but then Outlook doesn't
want to pick them up from there. (It claims the file may
be in use - but Eudora is closed.) Maybe the problem is
with Outlook talking to Eudora 6?

Ideas?

Create a new Outlook 2003 Data File and just copy the mailfolders to it.

Or export from the original pst-file to an Outlook 2003 file.

I think I was unclear.

The mailbox format is a standard text format used on Unix
machines for many different mail programs (Pine, emacs'
RMail, etc). This is sometimes called the RFC822
standard format. I can open the file in Notepad and see
all the messages is flat text.

I need Outlook to be able to read these files.
