First, put all the mail into one folder in Entourage. Now, drag that folder to the desktop - tis will create a unix-like MBOX file - the same format as Eudora uses. But, you've not quite finished yet! Eudora-Win uses different line endings to the mac, and the mailbox needs to be converted to win-style TEXT instead of Mac-style TEXT. This is easiest to accomplish by using BBEdit. You can download a free 'lite' version that will be perfectly adequate. Just open the mailobox file in BBEdit, but don't edit anything. Do a 'save as', and select widows or 'PC' file format from the options (the exact wording depends on the version of BBEdit). This will convert the line endings. Now, all you have to do is drop the converted mailbox into Eudora's mail folder and restart (the mailbox name MUST end in '.mbox'!). The mail folder should automagically show up in Eudora's mailbox listing. -- Barry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
