Transferring emails downloaded from Eudora 7.1 to Outlook 2002?

[Carrie Reed]

I just switched to using Outlook 2002, and I was wondering if there is a way
I can transfer my emails that I have downloaded from Eudora 7.1 to Outlook
2002.

If I have to send the emails to myself again, I will, but let me know if
there is a way I can do more than one at a time.

I switched because Outlook has the functionality I need, and I want to be
more familiar with it, as I will be using it for work.

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried File>Import and Export>Import Internet Mail and
Addresses>Next, the selecting Eudora? I realize it may say Eudora 2.x, 3.x,
and 4.x, but were I needing to do this, I'd give it a shot. Stanford
University suggests using Outlook Express as an intermediary. See this:
http://www.stanford.edu/services/email/eudoramigration/outlook.html . That
article recommends that after importing Eudora messages into Outlook Express
that you use Outlook to then import from Outlook Express. This is not the
best approach. It is better to export from Outlook Express to Outlook to
that the received dates of the messages are preserved.

Stanford also recommends Aid4Mail (http://www.aid4mail.com/) as a commercial
product that does a good job of converting. They have a free trial.

You shouldn't need to - Eudora 7 uses the same mailbox format as prior
versions - it's just in a different place and you have to tell the import
function where to find it..... AFAIK....
