Kmail and old eudora files

dcalki · 10-10-2007, 03:00 PM

Relatively new linux user, still getting things organized.

I recently installed PCLOS in dual boot configuration and I'd like to be able to access all my old eudora email files (from windows drive).

Is there any way to set KMAIL up to import or otherwise access the old in/out-box files from eudora?

If so, how would I go about it?

Thanks for any helpful pointers.

According to information from the KMail pages, it should be a simple matter of copy/paste. Here's the relevant part of the page:

Code:

Eudora Lite/Eudora Pro

    Eudora uses the mbox format in its mail files. To use them with KMail, make sure that your Eudora mailboxes have been compacted, then copy the .mbx files
 (Windows® Eudora) or Eudora mailbox files (Mac® Eudora) to your ~/Mail directory. You don't need to copy the index files. Once you start KMail, the mailboxes
 should appear in the Folders pane and the messages should be accessible in the Headers pane.
