THANKS Re: Mailbox Import Wizard no longer sees Eudora mailboxes
Mark, Your suggested workaround is excellent -- allows me to get the job done and stop futzing around. Odd, though, isn't it, that the Mailbox Import Wizard would work fine initially and then stop working without any changes to TB? The only thing I can think of that's different is that I did ADD a number of mailboxes to my Eudora Pro configuration. Could it be that I exceeded some threshold beyond which TB can't deal with the information from Eudora? I have about 75 Eudora mailboxes plus about 8 or 10 folders each containing 5-10 more mailboxes -- all together maybe 125-150 mailboxes. Any thoughts are welcome, but above all, thanks to Mark for the workaround. best regards, -David Perrotta --- Mark Aston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi David, Saturday, November 25, 2000, 8:57:53 PM, you wrote: I'm using the Halloween edition for Windows95.

Glad it worked out OK, I really have no idea why TB! wizard did not see the other mailboxes, as you say there may be a limit or it just sees the default boxes. Either way the Eudora boxes are in actually in Unix format anyway, Eudora just creates a *.toc file to index the mailbox. I have a copy of Eudora 5.02 (for experimentation) and when I tried TB! import wizard it could see all of the mailboxes, maybe it's just a problem with 3.05 -- Mark Aston mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gunfleet.com http://www.gunfleet.com/LinuxGuide Using The Bat! 1.48 Beta/7 Under Windows NT 5 0 Service Pack 1 2195 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Finding where OE5 hides its files is a pain, but they ARE there. It
varies slightly between versions of Windows, but for WinNT they should
be under
C:\WinNT\Profiles\username\Application
Data\Identities\{some-really-long-number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
and for Win98 they should be under something like
C:\Windows\Application
Data\Identities\{some-really-long-number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
If you can't find those specific folders, try searching for a folder
named Application Data or one named Outlook Express. But the folders
for OE5 will almost definitely be buried somewhere within the Windows
directory rather than in the Program Files directory.
