Hi, Ingo, all, Well, I can answer the first part of your question, because i have just made the migration to linux from Eudora-win. I will reference to my actual setup, using Kmail (from KDE). First of all, some terminology: what is called 'folder' under kmail-linux was called 'mailbox' in Eudora-win, being 'folder' used to name subdirectories for hierarchical archiving. If mailboxes was what you meant, then no conversion is necessary. Eudora mailboxes are in UNIX mail format. I simply copied the .mbx files to my mail subdirectory, /home/<user>/Mail, opened kmail, and voila, they were ready to browse. Different mail setups may have differences in the details, but the important thing in that your Eudora mailboxes are actually UNIX mail folders. Eudora addresses are not much complicated. Wherever you have your Eudora mail you will find a file called nndbase.txt. Simply erase the first two entries in each record: The first is the word 'alias', and the second the actual value of alias. What will remain in each record will be somethig like "Roberto Ripio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. In my setup, I had to copy the edited file to "/home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/kmail/addressbook". Hope this helps. Best regards, Roberto Ripio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
