Title: Barry, Eudora import still not working

Barry

Thanks for your reply. I still have some questions.  Here was my original problem:

I import from Eudora to Entourage X and it imports contacts well.  In Eudora, I had a number of messages in my "In" box which I had already read.  I was soon going to transfer them to various specific mailboxes for storage, but had not yet done so.  These collected messages in my Eudora "In" box did not get imported into my Entourage "In" box.

I also had various other mailboxes ("Clients," "Personal," "Fun," etc.) in Eudora in which I had saved messages.  The import into Entourage did not import any of these mailboxes containing saved messages.

I think he's saying that he has some outgoing messages in some mailboxes.

Sorry my original question wasn't clear.  I hope the restatement of it at the beginning of this email is clearer.

IIRC, the import doesn't create outgoing messages, it treats them all as incoming. I think I handled it by finding all the outgoing mail (messages where 'from' is me, but excluding all list messages first) then running a script to make them outgoing.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but anyway, it doesn't seem to address my original question (hope my restatement makes it easier for you.

I can't remember if the MBOX format was ever fixed but try dragging a folder to the desktop from Eudora and then drag into Entourage.

and you wrote:

Entourage only recognises MBOX files after you change the creator type to
"MBOX" instead of "TEXT" (or so it used to be in OS 9, things may have
changed with the way OS X handles filename extensions!).

How do I change the creator type?
