I just downloaded The Bat! 1.60c on Windows 2000, and I would like to import my 95MB Eudora 5.1 mailboxes to The Bat!. Unfortunately, when I run the import wizard, and point it to the right folder containing my Eudora mail, it doesn't do any importing. So I read through the entire archives and found these threads (name is the thread-starter):
--------------------------------------------- *Importing from Outlook, Victor Wong *Eudora Conversion Revisited, Michael Disabato *Migrating Problems. Going from Outlook to The Bat! What a PITA!, Brien King *hotmail? & Eudora, Paul Cartwright --------------------------------------------- Some of the solutions proposed were: find an older copy of The Bat! 1.53d (from Tucows) where the Eudora import works; from Eudora 5.1, export to a Unix mailbox format; get a program called Mailbag Assistant to help with all that mail (I realize my 95MB of mail is not that much compared to what some of you may have.) I don't want to use Mailbag Assitant because from what I understand, it allows you to look at and work with many types of mail, but it doesn't convert them to anything. The Bat! looks powerful and fast, and I think it would be able to handle my mail well enough that I don't need a separate Mailbag Assistant program. So... what do people suggest is the best option? I will try both, but if there are subtle errors I might not pick them up until one day when I'm looking for an old message... so I would prefer hearing any tried-and-true method for this kind of migration. I don't have many addresses in Eudora, so I'm not interested in Address Book type migration... just the email and its folder structure please. Also... all my Eudora folders are what The Bat! calls "common folders"... will I be able to import them as common folders? Or does The Bat! not handle common folders very well. I like the idea of keeping all folders within each of my several email accounts, but sometimes friends email to any of my accounts, and for those I'd like to filter them into "common folders," and not worry about keeping them within a certain email account.
