Re: strange eudora problem fixed

So, if there were a relatively painless way to get all of your
old mail into thunderbird, you would have no reason other than
personal ... inertia to switch to thunderbird?

As I recall, Eudora uses mbox format for its own mailstore. I
am pretty sure that Thunderbird can deal with the mbox format.

Feel free to correct me (or at least my recollection)
