Transfer your data from a PC to a Mac

Step 9:

Import your e-mail

When you ran Outlook2Mac, you saved your mail, calendar, and contacts to the My Documents folder so that Move2Mac could transfer them. If you open the Documents folder, you'll see these three subfolders. You can now import these files into any application that supports the MBOX (e-mail), VCF (contacts), and ICS (calendar) file formats. Here's what to do if you're running Mac OS X 10.2 or later (you are, if your Mac is new) and are using the apps bundled with the OS.

If you haven't already set up a Mail account (OS X's bundled e-mail client), a Welcome To Mail dialog box appears. Enter your e-mail address, your username, and your password. To get the information to put in the Incoming Mail Server, Account Type, and Outgoing Mail Server fields, contact your service provider. When you're done, a dialog appears asking if you want to import your mail. Click Yes. In the Import dialog box, select the mail client you're importing from. Step through the wizard to select the locations of your files.
