Product Description:

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner is a simple drag'n'drop application which helps you migrating your mail and related data between different client programs. Contrary to most other solutions, it preserves message status flags (read, replied) and re-attaches attachments Eudora stripped from incoming messages. It supports migrating data from Eudora (both, Mac and Windows versions) and Thunderbird to Apple Mail or Thunderbird.

What's new in this version:

New features:

  • Nickname import: if no information about a contact's full name is found in the appropriate fields but the information is available in the email address field (e.g., email address entered as "First Last "), add that information to the correct fields in the address book instead of discarding it. This works for contacts as well as mailing list members.
  • Preserve label information for messages imported to Mail in 10.4/10.5 - Eudora's standard labels (1-7) will be mapped to the same text colors in Mail, the custom labels (8-15) will be mapped to background colors for easier distinction between the labels.

Improvements/bugfixes:

  • Properly deal with stray newline characters in message headers when importing mailboxes from Windows Eudora to avoid corrupt messages.
  • Make sure that the generated Date headers comply with the format as defined in RFC2822 (we had the order of day and month inverted earlier).
  • Don't try to recover attachments/embedded files whose earlier presence is quoted in an HTML message.
  • Properly recode custom headers used in Eudora filters to UTF-8 to fix the issue where no rules would be present in Mail after import.
  • Parse Date: headers lacking the weekday in the date string - even though this format clearly violates the RFC, it seems to be fairly common for some mailers.
  • Prevent attachments from being displayed twice in the imported messages (with the first attachment not containing any actual data).
  • multipart/... messages with the first part being HTML no longer show up as empty after the import if the original Eudora message started with an empty line before the HTML content.
  • Fix crash when importing Windows nickname files when the file contains a trailing EOL.
  • Fix a crash when calling CFRelease() which could occur due to incorrect TOC information for a message.
  • Fix an Address Book.framework related crash when running on 10.2.8
  • Properly import nickname files from Mac Eudora if they contain only a single entry - that entry was ignored before.
  • Fix potential cosmetic problem in the summary dialog when importing Eudora filter and/or nickname files only.
  • Adapt the "Rebuild Mailboxes" AppleScript to work correctly in MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard).

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner Commentarymanual mailbox rebuild killed this for me - Version: 4.8, 3/22/2008 01:10PM PST

After completing the mailbox migration, I saw from the dialog box that appeared that I needed to rebuild each migrated mailbox (using the Mail REBUILD menu item). The problem is, there is no way to rebuild multiple mailboxes at once. I have 767 mailboxes total (including mailboxes within Eudora folders of mailboxes). Individually selecting 767 mailboxes and selecting Rebuild from the menu would have taken eons. If there could be found a way around this terrible inconvenience, I might be more excited about the tool.

I have been using Eudora for as long as Eudora has been available (originally from the U of I, Champaign/Urbana). I'm currently using the latest version from Eudora.com and have been fairly happy with it.

I've also been a .Mac member since Apple first launched the service.

I was looking forward to a migration path to Mail so that I might be able to take advantage of some of the features Mail gives me that are unique to Apple...such as .mac syncing.

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner ReviewWorks well - Version: 4.8, 1/11/2008 04:17AM PST

Transfered all my Eudora (v 6.2.4) e-mail over to Thunderbird (v 2.0.0.9) including location of attached files etc. without any problem on my G4 mac OS 10.4.11. Many messages were re-marked as unread, but this was not a problem really. Not sure why it's called Mailbox Cleaner, but it did exactly what it said without any hassle.

This tool may well be useful and do its job well, but if you initiate it by mistake or grab the wrong mail file or otherwise change your mind, there's no option but to force-terminate the utility; the developer could not be bothered with the option of a "CANCEL" button. Even the screen shot the developer supplies at this writing shows as much -- once you begin the process, you can only proceed -- no cancel option at all.
