I recently upgraded (?) my apple to Mac OSX Tiger. I followed Apple's
instruction for importing mail from Outlook Express. It "appeared" to
function correctly, but imported nothing. When I returned to Outlook
Express, the mail, address book.....everything was gone. Can anyone HELP
please?????????

Thanks!
Shari

If you're trying to launch OE in the OS X Classic Environment, I'd suggest
that you store your Identities folder in the following location...

Mac HD:Users:[your user]:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Identities:

You'll probably find that your Identities are currently stored in the old
default location, which is...

Mac HD:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Identities:

You may also find that moving the folder as above will help in the import
process within Apple Mail.

HTH,
