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).

Changing email clients is rare and a usually a one-off exercise. It also a real pain.
Converted 13 years of Eudora mail across 10 mailboxes with attachments and read/reply marks.
The attachments didn't come through first time so deleted the imported Apple Mail folder & started again - 2nd time worked perfectly/

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner Usage TipBetter organization of the directions will improve the product - Version: 4.9, 4/7/2009 11:33PM PST

I read the directions more than once. If they could be organized better, they might be easier to understand. Since this is a "get it right the first time" process, a clearer layout of the steps will help a user to feel more confident before committing himself.

Eudora Mailbox Cleaner ReviewPC Eudora 7 to OS X Mail -- flawless migration - Version: 4.9, 4/7/2009 11:22PM PST

With a little careful reading of the instructions, and even as a newbie Mac user, EMC imported some 7 years' (230 mailboxes) of mail from PC Eudora to OS X Apple Mail. The two scripts included in the package automated rebuilding of the imported mailboxes and edited and activated imported filters.

This program is the only one I've seen that does the whole job with very little effort on your part. And I've looked.

Congratulations to Aamann on a superb program. I'll send him a donation.
