Using EUD2IEM to convert Eudora to MBX file format
This freeware
program converts Eudora .mbx files to MS Internet Mail
.mbx files. It was written so that all the Eudora .mbx
files in a directory could be converted by the use of
input redirection. Version 1.1, 14 Apr 97.
The program has borrowed the format of the MS Internet
Mail .mbx file from the E2M
program written by C.Burke.
Download & Usage
Download
the Eud2iem.zip
file (20kb), unzip it and extract the Eud2iem.exe file.
You might place it in \Program Files\Accessories.
To use EUD2IEM, click Start, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt to
open a DOS window. (Or use a command window on Windows
NT.) Eud2iem.exe can be run with the following parameters:
The second method uses input redirection. You can
create a file with a list of all the Eudora mailbox files
by using this DOS command:
DIR/B *.MBX > {filename}
Notes
If
the directory parameter is not given, the output file is
created in the current directory.
The output file is created with the extension .MBX or
.MB_ depending on whether a file of that name already
exists. If both those filenames exist, no file is created.
The Eudora files must be in the correct format. This
program doesn't fix the problems such as the date of mail
sent from Eudora not being picked up by MS Internet Mail
or MIME multipart lines which MS Internet Mail doesn't
like. You will have to edit
the files to correct these cases before running the
program.
