Eudora to Entourage

[ROSS FRANCIS]

I have exported my Eudora Emails into Entourage, but all attachments
on the original Eudora have dissappeared, any ideas how to have
attachments showing in Entourage ?

I have exported my Eudora Emails into Entourage, but all attachments
on the original Eudora have dissappeared, any ideas how to have
attachments showing in Entourage ?

I'm sorry, but they won't.

Eudora does not store the complete message source including the attachments,
but splits off the attachments and drops them in it's own 'attachments
folder'. Unfortunately there is no way for the Entourage import routine to
find these attachments, re-encode them and reconstruct the original message
source.

The attachments will still be available, in a finder window look in the
folder you had defined as the attachments folder in Entourage. You should
find all the files in there.

_Eudora_" of course.)

Please "Reply To Newsgroup" to reply to this message. Emails will be
ignored.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

Oops - sorry. Paul is 100% correct, of course.
