I want to import my Eudora mail from my laptop to my desktop. I have connected the 2 together via a parallel cable.
There does not seem to be an export function in Eudora and when clicking on import, it gives a list including Outlook Expess and Microsoft Outlook, but no Eudora.
Please help.

I had to do this once and found a rather clumsy way to accomplish this. It is not pretty, but it worked. Download Netscaape V4.7 and install it on your system. Here is a link that you can use to Download Netscape:
http://download.com.com/3000-2354-10001867.html

To Import Mail:
1.From the Menu Bar, Click Communicator, go down to Tools and right and down to Import Utility and Click (this opens the Netscape messenger Import Utility window).
2.Click Eudora and Click the Next button (this opens the Eudora Import ? Mail Message window).
3.Click the Browse button (this opens the Open window).
4.Click the down arrow to the right of the Look In: field and go down to the Main Identity (MS OE5) folder and click (this opens the contents of theMain Identity folder).
5.Click the Inbox.mbx folder and Click the Open button (this displays the Mailboxes to import with checkmarks ? these can be deselected if desired), Type the mailbox name in the Import into a Mail Folder Named: field and Click the Next button (imports Eudora Mailbox into Netscape).

Launch Outlook Express V6

To Import Mail:
1.From the Menu Bar, Click File, go down to Import and right and down to Messages and Click (this opens the Outlook Express Import/Select Program window).
2.Select Netscape Communicator and Click the Next button (this opens the Outlook Express Import/Location of Messages window).
3.Click the Browse button (this opens the Browse for folder window).
4.Double click on local Disk (C:).
5.Double click on Program Files.
6.Double click on Netscape.
7.Double click on Users.
8.Double click on mailbox name.
9.Double click on Mail.
10.Click on Mail.sdb and click the OK button.
11.Click the Next button (this opens the Outlook Express Import/Select Folders window).
12.Verify that the All Folders is selected and click the Next button (this imports the messages and opens the Outlook Express Import/Import Complete window).
13.Click the Finish button (you are done).

The steps may not be exactly the same, but I think that you will get the idea. Hope this helps.
