Hello,

Can anyone help me on how to bring my mail from an OS 9.1 machine to a
new OS X iMac running Eudora 7.1? I tried to simply move the
mailboxes from the Eudora folder on the OS 9 machine but that are not
reading into the OS X machine (only showing to be an unknown unix
file).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Usually it works best if you simply copy the whole Eudora Folder from
the old machine to the new one. I certainly did that when going from OS9
to OS10, and it worked.

Just copy the entire Eudora Folder over to ~/Documents (that's the
Documents folder in your home folder).

And install Eudora, of course ;)

But "Eudora 7.1"? 6.2.4 is the latest AFAIK, and the Penelope thing is
labeled "Eudora 8.0".

The final "Classic Eudora" for Mac OSX is version 6.2.4

The final "Classic Eudora" for Windows is version 7.1.0.9
