Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

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.

Use the supplied AppleScript to do this for you... - aamann

The download contains an AppleScript in the "Tools" folder which rebuilds all your imported mailboxes for you - this is mentioned in the Read Me.

The disk image has a folder named "Tools". If you look in it, you'll find an applescript which will rebuild all the imported mailboxes so you don't have to manually do it!
