Eudora Conversion tools:

Of the three options made available for converting, I recommend
offering them to users in this order:

(1) Option #3 in the project notebook. Copy over the files from
Hard Disk Name:System Folder:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder
(presuming Eudora 4). "In" and "Out" should be copied, as well as
any other mailboxes that the user wants moved.

If the user is on Eudora 3, the path would be
Hard Disk Name:System Folder:Eudora Folder

(2) Option #1, Using the Netscape provided converter which on the Mac is under
the Communicator Menu, Tools, Netscape Import (or <Command><6>). 
Make sure to note the caveat that this converter (1) needs lots more RAM
allocated to it (I suggest at least 30meg), and (2) will not work for
all mailboxes. 

I have had luck getting it to convert the address book.

I suggest we not mention Option #2 (the Netscape converter available
via ftp) as it bombs out repeatedly.
