Question Eudora - How to export mails?

Hi Gang,

I'm still using eudora 5.0 (you know - if it wasn't broken, don't fix it ) Now I'm planning to switch over to foxmail. But heck, eudora seems to not support mail export? could that be true????

any help is highly appreciated, TIA

Felix

It doesn't export mail to my knowledge. The best I can do is suggest that you forward all your emails to yourself; or attach them to one email and send them to yourself.

so you want me to install some mail server as a local relay ? (i.e. mercury mail system, worked well when I tried it once) then send all the stuff to newmail@127.0.0.1 or so...

big work...

No, just send it to your email address. Make sure you don't check your mail, otherwise you will have to resend.

No need to export Eudora mail - it's all saved as plain text files. Open your .mbx files in Wordpad and you will see what I mean.

I remember a job once where we needed to convert Netscape (yes, the old 4.6 or 7 I think) mail to Outhouse (or was it Outhouse Express - I don't remember exactly). There was no direct export/import possible - but we installed Eudora as an intermediary. Worked like a champ - from Netscape to Eudora, then to Outhouse. Eudora is really a very capable e-mail client, people don't give it enough credit - it's just a bit quirky.

I don't know what Foxmail is, but there's a good chance it can import directly from Eudora.
