Re: Eudora: Mac to Windows

Hi Jon:

I have followed the Eudora instructions found here:
http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1333hq.html, mostly successfully.
You should do this knowing that when you view the converted email on
the Windows machine their "read" and "sent" status' won't be carried
over. Therefore, I ask the user to check their mail, then uncheck
their "leave on server" setting and check mail again to allow the
mail they have received to be removed from the server (so it won't be
duplicated on the next check mail in the new environment). Then on
the first opening in the Windows environment - before checking mail
again! - I just select all the messages in the in/out boxes and
change their status to read/sent as needed. You can then reset the
"leave on server" as you like it and check mail again. Filters don't
align perfectly, if used, and may need to be modified.

I haven't discovered the pattern but sometimes the mail in the new
environment looks fine from the list view, but when you attempt to
read a message, only the header is visible. If you open the file
(e.g., in.mbx) with a text reader, you'll see that the entire
contents is there. I suspect this has to do with the line feed
conversion they walk you through.

Good luck!
Michael
