Hi,

Does anyone have advice on how to turn my contacts and mail folders
into an MBOX file? Apparently that's what it must be in order to move
my contacts from my old G3 iMac with OS9 over to my new G5 iMac with
OSX.

Thanks for any help,

Marsha

I don't believe that there's a direct way of exporting your old content into
MBOX format. The import process is fairly straightforward if you're able to
run Outlook Express on the new machine. Do you have the Classic environment
installed on the new machine?
