Hi,

I am trying to move my Outlook 2003 mails to Entourage using imap
server. I am able to move messages successfully but attachments get
converted to winmail.dat and I am not able to open the winmail.dat
using TNEF's Enough utility.

How can I move mails in original format to imap?

Cheers,
Ashish

Back in Outlook, see if you convert the messages to either plain text or
HTML. I don't know if that's possible with received messages, though - it's
probably not. You might need to save the attachments to disk with some sort
of indication as to which file goes with which message, then copy the saved
files to a CD and bring them over separately. No good way to re-associate
them wit the messages easily, but at least you'd know where to look for
them.
