[Mac-talk] Help, losing Eudora mailboxes

[Andrew Zima]

Kristin,

Sorry can't be more help but I've been using Apple (OS X) Mail since  
Tiger (10.4) came out. I do miss some of Eudora's filtering but I  
don't miss the 'bugginess'.
Hopefully this points you in the right direction for some help. As  
you may or may not know Eudora has been discontinued by Qualcomm,  
made open source, and turned over to the Mozilla Foundation (the  
makers of Firefox and Thunderbird). They have a Beta (not finished  
and possibly buggy) version now available. Don't know if it will work  
but it may be worth a try.

You can download it from here-

 From the read me -
http://eudora.com/download/eudora/8.0.0b2/RelNotes.txt

EUDORA VERSION 8.0
======================================================================== 
======

Eudora is a mail and news application from Qualcomm based on the open  
source
Thunderbird client from Mozilla.  It's *not* our intention to compete  
with
Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it. ...
