Hi Erik, When I first tried importing from outlook express in tiger, it was broken. I think they fixed it toward the end but it was deffinitely fixed in leopard so even though there may be an option for eudora, there is no guarantee that it works. AS for firefox, I don't know but suspect it should be doable since they tout that they are open source and cross platform. I wonder if maybe it would be possible to install firefox on the mac and port the bookmarks to it and then move them to safari.

I haven't used the windows bloatware in 4 or 5 years now. Well, maybe three or four years. At one time I was running windows xp on a 650 mhz laptop with 128 mb of ram. There was just no hope for IE and OE. Apple mail gives me all kinds of things I can import from, and one was eudora. It was selected properly, so I don't see why it shouldn't have worked.
