THANKS Re: Mailbox Import Wizard no longer sees Eudora mailboxes

[David Perrotta]

Mark,

Your suggested workaround is excellent -- allows me to
get the job done and stop futzing around.   Odd,
though, isn't it, that the Mailbox Import Wizard would
work fine initially and then stop working without any
changes to TB?

The only thing I can think of that's different is that
I did ADD a number of mailboxes to my Eudora Pro
configuration.  Could it be that I exceeded some
threshold beyond which TB can't deal with the
information from Eudora?   I have about 75 Eudora
mailboxes plus about 8 or 10 folders each containing
5-10 more mailboxes -- all together maybe 125-150
mailboxes.  

Any thoughts are welcome, but above all, thanks to
Mark for the workaround.

best regards,
-David Perrotta

  The problem is that I have many more mailboxes and

  recognizing them any longer.
 
 Try importing them as Unix mail boxes, you will find
 them in the
 Eudora directory with an *.mbx extension to the
 mailbox name.

Glad it worked out OK, I really have no idea why TB! wizard did not
see the other mailboxes, as you say there may be a limit or it just
sees the default boxes. Either way the Eudora boxes are in actually in
Unix format anyway, Eudora just creates a *.toc file to index the
mailbox.

I have a copy of Eudora 5.02 (for experimentation) and when I tried
TB! import wizard it could see all of the mailboxes, maybe it's just a
problem with 3.05
