Diana Hi Diana, Did you read all below from the website … http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Eudora_Mailbox_Cleaner.html General Notes • Please quit all applications involved in the transfer (i.e., Eudora, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and Address Book). If the target application is running during the import, some of the data will be lost. If you are importing nicknames into the Address Book, you should also close all programs accessing the Address Book database (e.g., iChat) since the repeated re-loading of the data by those applications will slow down the nickname import considerably. • The application leaves all original data untouched. However, it is always a good idea to back up your data (at least your mail and address data) before using it. • If the application does not allow your Eudora data being dragged onto its icon, copy the application from the disk image to your local hard disk first and then use the copy on your local disk. Importing from Eudora • It is a good idea to clean up/compact your mailboxes first (i.e., click the space in the mailbox display where the number and size of the messages is displayed). Otherwise you might get messages you already deleted in Eudora after importing. • Locate your Eudora data folder - it normally is located at ~/Documents/Eudora Folder on MacOS X Importing to Apple Mail and Address Book • Your imported mailboxes will be located in a new folder called Import at the top-level of your local mailboxes. The new files will be located at ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Import on your hard disk Note of caution: DO NOT move your imported messages to the Outbox since that will result in all these messages being resent immediately… (you could safely move them into the Sent Messages mailbox). Note: (Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger) Mail 2.0 introduced a new mailbox format which uses a SQlite database (~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index) in addition to the mailboxes themselves. Until the imported messages are added to this database, the imported mailboxes will appear to be empty in Mail. Select Mailbox → Rebuild from the menu in Mail to rebuild each of the imported mailboxes and all your messages will show up correctly. For a little less cumbersome way to do this, you can use the AppleScript included in the download to rebuild all imported mailboxes - please don't interfere with the script's progress until it has finished - the script is using UI scripting which has some issues. • Filter files will add the corresponding rules automatically to Mail. However, this works only if Mail is not running when importing filter files. In Mail.app, imported rules will have a name starting with (imported) and will initially be inactive (so you can make

Re: WordPerfect Spotlight QuickLook Plug-ins
Hi Neil and all, Well I remember too well Word Perfect which I used quite happily on my Mac and on my then employer's DOS machines. Until MS decided to slowly strangle this wonderful software, just like they strangled the Netscape browser, when everyone went over to Word. That was the time when they were trying desperately to strangle this little company called Apple Well, the rest is history and the world keeps spinning around the Sun. Many thanks for that link Neil, this will come in handy for my old ... very old documents. Kind regards to all, Philippe 2010/8/12 Neil Houghton n...@possumology.com One for the old-timers out there. If you are like me you used to use Wordperfect on the Mac and, maybe, like me you still have a bunch of old archived files kicking around. I still keep the files because they have correspondence/faxes etc that I (very) occasionally want to check back on. Since I left OS9/Classic behind, I have played with various programs/approaches to read these - none were particularly convenient. However, I just found this, and gave it a go: WordPerfect Spotlight QuickLook Plug-ins http://homepage.mac.com/herr/ I haven't checked the Spotlight side of it (it is not likely to be my working method) but the Quicklook works great and is all I need - go to my relevant archive folder, browse in Quicklook and refresh my memory on 10 to 20 yr old correspondence! Probably not too interesting to most readers ;o) - but I know some of you still remember when MS Word was not the most widely used word processor! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
