Re: Friday, January 23, 2004
I recently did a Eudora 6 on Windows to Mac Mail on OS X. Three main issues: 1) translating linefeeds, 2) converting mailboxes, and 3) filename extensions (Eudora sticks .mbx and such on lots of stuff in Windows). First step is to convert the mailboxes. I ended up using Thunderbird (or Mozilla) as an intermediary. It was the only thing I could get Eudora to translate to without major lossage. (I'd also recommend just using it as your new mail program) This worked for several hundred mailboxes. The next step was to translate linefeeds. There's lots of things you can do from a command line, but if you aren't in a hacking mood you can use something like 'flip' (http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/). You may have to do some folder name cleanup, but possibly not since everything is on unix-based systems. That should get you to the spot that you can move the files to another system and import to the new mailer. Good luck!
