Assuming you've got the Eudora application installed, you can copy your entire Eudora Folder from your old machine to anywhere on your 9600, then double-click the Eudora Settings file in that folder. That should give you the same settings, mailboxes, etc., that you had when you opened Eudora on the old machine.
You can make an alias of the settings file and use it to start up Eudora, rather than opening (an alias of) the application. That way you'll be starting up with the desired environment. Note that you can, if you want, have more than one settings file in the same Eudora folder and open whichever one you choose. SInce they're in the same Eudora folder -- and it doesn't have to be called Eudora folder! -- they'll show the same mailboxes. You can also have more than one Eudora folder, which is especially useful if two people share a machine. Eudora treats whatever folder immediately contains the settings file you open as THE Eudora folder. It will let you know if anything essential is missing from that folder! If you're using more than one settings file in paid mode, each one will need the registration info. It's easiest to get multiple settings files by duplicating one that already has the essential info in it, and then modifying it as necessary. - Aaron >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>(PCI PowerMacs) >Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2003 18:57:06 +1300 >From: Andrew Grebneff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Transferring Eudora mailboxes & addresses > >I have had this problem more than once, and this time I cannot >remember how I managed to get it to work before... > >If I copy my working copy of Eudora (in this case v5.1 and OS 9.1) >from one Mac to another, the mailboxes and address book of the new >copy are empty.
