Address Book

[Ben]

I got Eudora 6.2 running on my Mac Mini, and have imported mail folders.

I can't seem to find a method of importing the Eudora Address book from my old
windows machine.

Suggestions appreciated!!!

TIA!!!!

Regards,

Can you copy the "Eudora Folder" found in your personal "Documents"
folder to the same place in your Mini?

That should give you almost everything from your old Eudora.

I'm afraid to copy the Windows eudora folder to the Mac Mini... I think there
are some differences.

I seem to remember that the basic structure is the same but that there
are differences between the Mac and DOS line endings. I can't remember
what they are, but the settings, Address Book and mailbase files are
ASCII, and the conversions have been discussed here. Provided you work
on copies, you're unlikely to do any damage. You could do the
conversions using TextWrangler, which is free, or you could obtain
Emailchemy which holds your hand a lot more and doesn't cost a great
deal.

While not completely up to date, this info may be helpful:

"Migrating From Windows to MAC"
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1644hq.html

"Address book format"
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1353hq.html

A migrated (or edited) address book
will need to have its index (re)built
(IIRC via Option key)

Thanks for the links.

I have now gotten used to the MAC Mail Mail program and like it!

Will use it and not worry about Eudora.

Again, Thanks to all who responded.

A tiny, cultural/tribal tip. A Mac is a Mac, a MAC is something quite
different. In Britain, at least, referring to broadband, it's a
Migration Authorisation Code. I don't know if, elsewhere, it it means
something yet again.

Well, "Mac" is simply an abbreviation of "Macintosh".

"MAC" usually (in the world of computers) is an acronym for "Media
Access Control", as in "MAC address", referring to the address of a
network card -- *not* to the address of a Mac ;)

So it's a bit more than a tribal thing.

I guess that means there are at least 251 then:
