Here is the section in the FAQ: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How can I import existing archives? By far the easiest way to import messages into The Mail Archive is via an mbox file. First make sure the archive is started, then contact our support team if you have an mbox file you wish to import. Advanced users may find an email conversion utility useful for Eudora, MH, IMAP, maildir, YahooGroups, and the ever popular broken mbox files that don't have >From quoting. Mailman users who already have gzip'd text or mbox archives online can just supply a URL. Please don't even think about forwarding old messages directly to the archival address. First, there's an excellent chance they will be eaten by a spam filter. Second, unless you really really know what you are doing, the forwarding process will add extra headers to the message, which will confuse the sorting software and the messages will not archive correctly. http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#import ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I looked at the conversion utility for Eudora on sourceforge. It is written in Python, which I know nothing about. But the mbox format is extremely simple. I could write a small program to convert the Eudora files to mbox format, and get them uploaded to the mail-archive. This wouldn't take long. Please let me know the results to the previous email.
