Win 95 Eudora Lite. You want to backup and save all:
*.ini (personal settings)
lmos.dat (keeps track of last message read from the server, may be empty)
nndbase.txt (default address book, aliases)
rcpdbase.txt (recipient list)
*.fol directories (folders containing mailboxes)
*.mbx files (mailboxes)
*.pce files (signature, filters, mailbox names)
*.toc files (table of contents files)
Optional (directories that you may also need to copy):
attach (may contain attachments; JPG, GIF, ZIP, GZ, TXT, PDF, etc.)
nickname (may contain other address books)
plugins (if you added additional plugins)
scripts (modem scripts for ver. 3.x)
sigs (may contain signatures)
stationery (or stat) (may contain stationery files)
After installing Eudora Pro under Win 98 you would copy the Win 95 backups and
overwrite all files listed above with the backup versions.
