Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / November 2005How to transfer mail from Eudora to Eudora?
I need to transfer Eudors mail from one computer to another. Sometimes from my Powerbook 3400c/8.6/Eudora light to my PM 7200/8.6/Eudora Light, sometimes between Mac computers when I am upgrading to a 'new' computer. Is there an easy way way to transfer individual e-mails or the complete file between computers, preferably using zip disks?

It's all in the "Eudora Folder" probably in your "documents" folder. Make a backup of everything on old hard drive first. (I don't foresee problems; that is a generally good practice).

I've been going thru that Acrobat document (180 pages) but all I've found under transfer is transferring stuff within Eudora on one computer. Is there a different magic word I should search for relating to transferring between computers? I know about putting stuff in a 'Transfer' mailbox, it is the exact details of swapping mailboxes I'm looking for. > Make a backup of everything on old hard drive first.

Andrew was saying "just copy the Eudora folder to your new computer". Note that the Eudora folder is probably in your documents folder--it is not the same as the "Eudora Application Folder" that contains the actual application. Copy the whole Eudora folder onto a zip disk if you wish, or a CD, or just connect the two computers over the network. I use "Synchronize Pro" to automatically sync the Eudora folders on my desktop and laptop over the network.

The simplest way I have found, for individual mails, is to do this: In Eudora, on both machines, create a 'Transfer' mailbox. On both machines, create a folder that has the same path (that has the same name, on a drive of the same name) and make that your attachments folder. If the machines are networked, make aliases on each machine of the following folders on the other machine- 'Eudora Folder:Mail', 'Eudora Folder:Parts Folder' and the attachments folder. Put the passwords in the Keychain. That's all the hard work done and it needs doing only once. When you want to transfer a mail, in Eudora, drag it to the 'Transfer' mailbox on the originating machine. Open the 'Mail' folder and copy the 'Transfer' and if you're using .toc files, 'Transfer.toc' files from the originating machine to the receiving machine's 'Mail' folder. It will then be in the 'Transfer' mailbox on the receiving Eudora and you can put it where you want. Clean up on the originating side. That's it- all done, and when you have the aliases in one desktop folder, terribly easy to do. If there's an attachment(s) involved, copy it across from one Attachments folder to the other. Be warned that if you want them to open automagically from inside Eudora, you can't subsequently move the attachments on the receiving machine. If there are embedded images, copy them across between the 'Parts Folders'. This has worked for me with Eudora 3.1.3 Light in OS9 and Classic, and Eudora 6.1.1 in 10.2.6, 10.3.9 and OS9.

On my version -- 4.3 (and all previous ones) --, each Eudora mailbox is just a text file. simply copy the appropriate mailbox file from one machine's Eudora mail folder to the other. As long as the mailbox filenames don't collide, the new box will be there ready to use just like all the other ones. (Don't copy your "In", or "Out" folders, for that reason, but you can rename them and then copy them). Isaac |
