I'm a PC user who just purchased an iMac and installed VMWare Fusion
so I have both Windows XP and Leopard. Eudora 7.1 is installed on the
Windows platform and 6.2 is installed on the Leopard platform. My
technician was able to import my filters to the Mac Eudora but when he
tries to import my mailboxes and their contents they come over as one
big html document (rather than individual emails) and he has not been
able to solve this problem. I'd also want to import my stationery. Has
anyone had experience with this who can advise or assist me. I'm happy
to pay for this and can download Timbuktu to facilitate it. Thank you.

I don't know how you import the stationery, so I can't help with that.
For the mailboxes, each one should be one big *text* document (*not*
HTML and *not* individual emails.) You need to change the line endings
to Mac line endings. You can use a text editor, such as TextWranger or
BBEdit to change the line endings.

Thank you for your excellent suggestion, Kathy. My technician
converted the mailbox text documents using BBEdit and they came over
fine. The stationery had little boxes at the end of each line so it
probably needed to be changed too but most were old so I just copied
the ones I still use and edited them manually.

I appreciate your taking the time to submit this post. I love Eudora
for the Mac!

That's a little unusual, but I'm glad to hear it. (It seems that most
Windows converts prefer a 3-pane view.)

This is a good group, so if you ever have any problems with Eudora or
questions, someone here will probably be able to help.
