I'll follow this thread as well to see if this gets resolved.

For the record, I'm trying to migrate my posterous accounts to self-hosted wordpress blogs; I already tried to "import wordpress" in my self-hosted blog using the XML file from the posterous export tool, and it did not work - just got a bunch of "failed to import" messages. After researching online, all tutorials online said to register for a free wordpress.com blog, import from posterous, then export that to your self-hosted blog, which is what brought me here ;)

Unfortunately Posterous does not allow export to WXR file, only to XML. I run export and message "We're processing your import now and will send you an email when it's all done. If you don't hear from us within 24 hours, please contact support, and we'll get everything fixed." appeared. I will wait til tomorrow and let you know the results.

One last try! Could you export a WXR file from Posterous and import it using the WordPress option here:
https://bloxxter.wordpress.com/wp-admin/import.php

Occasionally when the API fails, we find our users have success with importing the file this way.

Cheers!

Another thing to check is to make sure that your file size isn't too large - you may need to break the file into pieces in order to successfully import.

Cheers!
