there should be an 'import expot" in the file menu. Export your mail to a location of your choice, again, Im pc so it might be different on mac

Thanks for your help sexy.
Rule of thumb... When on a Mac and in doubt - drag and drop.
I just moved them to a folder, voila!!!

okay, its here:
hd/applications/outlook express/outlook express/identities/*you*/message...
it will be BIG (mine = 600MB+), and an all in one deal. you cant pull individual mails outta this file (but good to back it up every once in a while)
