With OE v5 just select File-Import-Messages, then choose Outlook as the
import type. You may have to do this on the PC that has full Outlook
installed.

I don't know how to pull the binaries out of the files. I think it could be
done using VB code but short of that I can't think of an automated way to do
it.
