I have been there before. Here is a short reference to a solution <

it may not be complete, allow me to summarise.
Make sure you can run Ruby on your machine. I believe that Ruby should run
on any box as it is platform-independent. Then, download eml2mbox:
http://www.broobles.com/eml2mbox/eml2mboxscript.html
It can either convert one E-mail to an MBOX archive or an entire big list of
EML files that reside in a directory that is passed as an argument to the
script. I used that script heavily in the past, but I am now using
Thunderbird, which stores messages in MBOX form by default.
Speaking of which, if you seek to convert Microsoft's proprietary E-mail
format to MBOX, I suggest that you install Thunderbird. It has a wizard for
automatically importing mail from Outlook or Outlook Express in a non-lossy
fashion.
Hope it helps,
Roy
