Can I import my huge "JUNK" address list from Eudora to Outlook?

[lewisma9]

Hello:
I am trying to migrate to MS Outlook from Eudora. For years, Eudora has
build up a huge file of JUNK email addresses, which it automatically diverts
out of my InBox. Is there any way I can import that list into Outlook? I am
using Norton on Outlook, but now I have to start "teaching" it all over
again. Please help me to avoid this work!
Thanks.

Yes, but the details depend on what version of Outlook.

Depends on the Outlook version, I imagine, and you've neglected to state
that piece of informaiton.

Outlook 2002 does not have a particularly useful junk mail filter. I'd recommend that you get one of the tools (many of them free) listed at http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm#tools

Or you can edit the Adult Senders.txt list -- see http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm#fileloc

Hi Sue,
I should have said: I have Norton Anti-Spam integrated into Outlook. Is
there a way I can import my HUGE junk list from Eudora into this new system
with Norton+Outlook?

I wouldn't know. I won't allow Norton on any of my machines. (Sorry I missed its mention in your original post.) And I find that junk senders lists are largely a waste of time.

I found that Norton's SPAM filter worked very well for me in Eudora. It took
a while to "learn" from my identifications (easy to do), but in the end, it
was taking out about 98-99% of my SPAM. (I get a lot of spam! A result of
my mainly online work.)

I should also tell you, I have Norton Anti-Spam integrated into Outlook. But
I want to import my "junk" list from Eudora, because it has 3 years of Spam
addresses in it, and I don't like having to start all over in Outlook.
Thanks.

If you were using Norton antispam with Eudora, then I don't see why you
think you need to transfer anything. Won't Norton AS simply allow you to
add Outlook integration without having to start over?

Hi Brian,
No, I was't using Norton Anti-Spam on Eudora - Eudora's own new filter
system worked just fine. But now I want to import the list of Junk addresses
from the Eudora Spam file into Outlook with Norton. Any ideas on how I can
do this?
Thanks.

You said. "I found that Norton's SPAM filter worked very well for me in
Eudora." To me, that indicated you were using the two together.

But now I want to import the list of
Junk addresses from the Eudora Spam file into Outlook with Norton.

I doubt it can be done, but you should be asking Symantec, not this
newsgroup.
