Move Apple mail to Outlook 2011

Hey Fellas,

I m up with another problem. About 4 months ago I bought MBP and downloaded Outlook 2011 as i was not comfortable with Apple Mail. Earlier i received all my mails in Apple mail, as these mails are of great importance to me so i tried to transfer them to outlook 2011, but i can't.

I want to transfer all my mails maintaining the folder structure. Positive answers would be really appreciated.

Thanks for help.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Open Mail and export the mailboxes to .mbox format (Mailbox Menu>Export Mailbox) that will produce an .mbox file, then in Outlook:

On the Outlook for Mac File menu, click Import.
Click Contacts or messages from a text file, and then click the right arrow.
Click Import messages from an MBOX-format text file, and then click the right arrow.
Follow the instructions.

Sorry pal but this method of yours also didn't work. The files that i need to import are greyed out and cannot be selected. I tried this method saveral times but the result was the same.

Well I was hoping if you can suggest me any software that could help me with this type of problem. Because i have looked into similar kind of queries and there some softwares are recommended.

your help will be really appreciated.

Thanks
