Hi James The Eudora folder lives in the Documents folder. So as long as the one you want to work with (the main) one is located there, then you can import the others into that (via Eudora). Eudora has a "strage" file structure, so it's a little harder to work with when merging them. The way I've done it before for clients is as above. I put the main Eudora "info" into the Documents folder. Launch Eudora, then Import the others.
If you're looking to change, then I'd suggest Mail. I've migrated a few clients to Mail from Eudora. Fairly easy. Get a program called Eudora Mailbox Cleaner <http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Eudora_Mailbox_Cleaner.html> It will do it all for you. Including the weird way Eudora does Contacts (which will go to the Address Book) and all the Mail will move over as well. One thing to be wary of the above though. You HAVE to Rebuild all the mailboxes (In Apple Mail from Mailbox menu - Rebuild down the bottom of the list) after it's done it. Otherwise the dates can be out, or some message don't appear to show up. (as noted on that site under "Importing to Apple Mail and Address Book). That would be how I would do,..nice and easy either way to move it. Or change over. Hope that helps.
