We will need to do this manually using MBOX files. Note: Dragging an MBOX
file into Entourage changes Received Time to the time you drag the MBOX back
in. It leaves the Sent time exactly how it was - correct. Sort the messages
by Sent time, it will still sort them correctly.
Mail:
To archive a mailbox:
Select one or more mailboxes to archive.
Shift-click to select mailboxes that are next to each other in the list, or
Command-click to select mailboxes that are not next to one another.
Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action
pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives,
and then click Choose.
Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you¹ve already archived a
mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to
the filename to create a new version of it.
Entourage:
Drag the MBOX files into the Entourage folder window.
See the movie on importing MBOX files
