  Hey gang...not trying to plug our products here, but i have a really cool work around if you are interested:
  
  I run VMware FUSION on my macbook pro.$79
  
  I run Outlook in my Windows XP Virtual machine.
  
  I run Entourage as my primary Mac Mail client.
  
  I exported my entire PST (2.2gb) from my older machine
  saved to usb drive
  plugged usb drive into my macbook
  fired up my VMware Virtual Machine
  Fired up OUTLOOK in my VM
  mounted the USB Drive
  File>OPEN>outlook data file
  pointed to the .pst file
  voila, it opens
  it takes an hour or so, but it imports the entire pst
  then, sync with our exchange server
  when you open up your Entourage, it too syncs with your exchange server
  all your folders, messages, contacts, etc pop into your Mac Mail client
  
  HOWEVER: this does assume you are receiving mail by and through an exchange server, however, the use of a virtual machine as a medium saved the day
  
  hope that helps.
