How do I upload an 'On my Mac' email archive in Mail to an 'On my computer' folder in Outlook for Mac??

Question

I've installed Office for Mac with Outlook and want to import an archive of 'On my Mac' emails from Mail to a new folder created in Outlook's 'On my computer' section.
When I recently upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to import this archive back in from a system backup I'd made beforehand. I thought I would be able to do the same again now, but Outlook's import function won't play ball, not even after I have led it to the 'Mailboxes' folder of MBOX data that I've saved onto my desktop. Outlook's 'import' button remains greyed out and unresponsive, even after I've opened the 'Mailboxes' folder to expose the MBOX data.
I now know I am not alone in being unable to complete this task by the only method suggested in Outlook's 'Help' that is open to me - ie, to "import messages in MBOX format". I got nowhere at all trying the alternative, to "Import Apple Mail messages", where, after clicking 'File / Import', the options encountered bore little resemblance to those described in 'Help' - eg, to import, specifically, "Entourage information from an archive or earlier version" rather than the more general "Information from another application", whilst there was subsequently no mention whatsoever of "Apple Mail" after clicking "the right arrow to continue".
I've since learned from trawling internet forums that Apple and Microsoft MBOX folders are not the same, which is presumably at the heart of this. There are also various solutions proffered, involving either uploading the archive over an IMAP connection (which I do have, to Gmail) to a shared email account, or using proprietary software that either converts email data from Mail to Outlook friendly or enables it to be uploaded from one to the other. However, none of the simpler solutions are relevant (they tend to be restricted to particular mail clients, etc) whilst the others require programming familiarity and skills that I don't possess.
It's hard to believe that Microsoft could produce this suite expressly for Macs and, in the case of the Outlook component, implicitly to replace its Mac counterparts, yet for it to be incapable of doing so in the crucial, basic area of importing pre-existing Mac email data.
Whilst I have taken this up with Microsoft, I'm just hoping there might be someone out there in the Mac community who might know the answer . . .

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
