Importing Outlook Inbox into Act!

[worchyld]

We're currently moving from Outlook to Act! - we've successfully transfered the address book, contacts, events, etc - but how do I import the existing inbox/outbox into Act?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a (insert favorite search engine here) for 'outlook (express) conversion to ACT?

I know there must be something in the help files on ACT as well...seems that this type of thing must be rather common.

Or perhaps another member has some experience with this?

Yes, I've looked extensively right across the web for an answer for this one issue - but most of the time I get stuff on how to get Act! to import Contact, Address Book and other data (with the exception to all the inbox/outbox data) from Outlook.

There are two alternatives I've figured out:
1) Forward every email from Outbox/Inbox to [same person] - only problem is that it'll appear that it came from [person] and you won't be able to reply because you'll be replying to yourself.

2) Open each email individually copy/pasting email contents into notepad and then saving it into a style that Act! can read, then put it into the folder where Act! keeps its Inbox data. Of course with over a 100 emails in both the inbox and outbox it'll take forever and a day.
