I gave a copy of all my past archives for a mailing list to a friend.

Here are the steps he used to take PMMail messages and import them into
Outlook:

After looking at a few message headers, I saw that your msgs were posted by
PMMail, so I grabbed a copy; looked at PMMail's forum; grabbed The BAT!;
imported; exported to UNIX mailbox; grabbed Eudora; imported; ran Outlook
Express; imported from Eudora; exported to Outlook; ran Access; imported from
Outlook.... whew! But, I now have 15,537 messages in an Access database.

Here was his command line for using "The Bat!"

 thebat.exe
/IMPORTU="targAct";FOLDER="targFld";IN=c:\msgs\glpro2003.fld\*.msg

You have to use the command line with "The Bat!", if you use the import
dialog, it cannot handle a large number of messages.
