There is a script from Microsoft itself, called "Import from Mail", which is
on your Office v. X CD, in the Value pack. But the version of that script
which shipped within the v10.0.0 CD is for OS 10.1's Mail.app, and won't
work in Jaguar or Panther. (If you have a Students & Teachers Version CD,
it's already v10.1.4 and is updated already: just install the script using
the Value Pack Installer on the CD, then double-click the script "Import
form Mail" on your hard disk. It's installed to Applications/Microsoft
Office X/Utilities/Import from Mail/). Find it there and double-click it.)
If you have a CD version of Office X earlier than 10.1.2, install the Import
from Mail script from the Value Pack as above. Then (re-)apply the Office
Updater 10.1.2 and 10.1.4 even if you've applied them before. (I'm not 100%
positive they're both needed, but better do it than miss something.) That
will replace the out-of-date script with a new updated version. Then find it
as above and run it.
