Compact Database System Requirements Links: MailSteward Support SQLite | Import mbox files...: The Microsoft Entourage X email client uses a proprietary database to store email. However if you drag a mailbox from Entourage onto your desktop or into a folder, Entourage will export the dragged mailbox as a standard format UNIX mbox file that MailSteward can understand. Entourage only converts the email at the top level of any folder that you drag. It doesn't convert any email contained in subfolders. Each subfolder has to be dragged individually. Most other email clients also can export mbox files. Mbox files that have been created in this way can be read into your MailSteward email archive by selecting Import mbox files... from the File menu. Also, in the MailSteward Settings, you can specify a folder that contains mbox files, that you want to be imported whenever you do an Archive. To export email from Outlook 2011 in a format that can be imported into MailSteward, perform an Edit -> Select All in the folder or Inbox you wish to Export. Click & hold the mouse until you see the number count come up on the cursor. Then move the cursor over a Finder folder window and release the mouse. Wait while Outlook locks up & churns from exporting the emails. There will be no progress bar. This will fill the folder with .eml files of all the emails. The .eml files can then be imported into MailSteward by selecting Import mbox files... from the File menu.
