Incredimail conversion to Outlook Express or Outlook

I have searched the web and EE for a way in which to convert approximately 100 folders of Incredimail (each consisting of 5 to 50 messages) to Outlook Express. We've tried IncredimailConvert and found it to be very laborious and it appears to have a limit of 47 converted messages per cycle. With over 4000 messages to convert, it would seem that there should be a better way. Ideally, I would like to manually create the 100 folder names in OE and then simply ask a conversion program to move the same 100 Incredimail folders to OE. Can someone suggest how? Thanks.

It looks like ABC Amber might work but first I need to transfer the Incredimail mail file from an "old" computer to a new one. The Incredimail "transfer settings and data" will not work on the old system even after a reinstall of Incredimail. I don't want to use any of the conversion products on the old system since it seems to be on its last legs or the OS is badly corrupted. However, what I have done is to copy the IM folder under Doc & Settings, Local, Appl...etc. to a CD. Indredimail is installed on the new computer system. I then copied these same files to the IM folder on the new system. Unfortunately, Incredimail on the new system does not see the files. There are two identities under the new computer's IM folder now. I'm guessing that the new computer is only seeing the identity that was originally created when Incredimail was installed. Is there a way to combine the two identities? If not, is there a way to load the old computer's IM files into the new computer so that Incredimail will see the files?

After I have this done, I think I'll be able to use one of the two products above to move the mail to OE or Outlook and finally get rid of Incredimail.
