When importing mailboxes from Eudora into MacOSX's Mail.app, all sent messages lose their original date.
Also, HTML and rich-text messages are not imported properly. 'Eudora Mail Cleaner' cleans Eudora's mailboxes so that they can be imported into Mail.app properly.
Here are some key features of "Eudora Mailbox Cleaner":
Mailbox Importing (Mac OS X Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird)
Direct conversion from Eudora mailboxes to Mail.app *.mbox packages or Thunderbird mbox/*.msf files. Aside from being faster than the "Import Mailboxes..." in the respective applications, the following problems are fixed as well:
Date for sent messages is set properly (i.e., not the date when the messages are imported)
"To: " headers will not be lost when importing sent messages into Mail.app
text/enriched (Eudora's "rich text"), text/html, and multipart/... messages are imported properly
Message status flags (sent, replied, forwarded, ...) are preserved upon import (if this does not work for you, see the remark below)
Attachment recovery: if the original attachment of a message can be found inside Eudora's "Attachments Folder", the attachment will be re-encoded and attached to the message using proper MIME-compliant encoding.
Starting with version 2.6, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner can also import mailboxes from Windows Eudora (see note below)
Nickname Importing (Mac OS X Address Book or Mozilla Thunderbird)
Directly import Eudora nickname files into the MacOS X's Address Book or as address book in the default Thunderbird profile. Nicknames marked as "Do not include this nickname when syncing" in Eudora will be ignored.
All group information will be converted from Eudora to the Address Book and mailing lists will be imported as well.
Accented characters will import properly inyo Thunderbird and won't show up as gibberish like they do when using the Thunderbird import.
See the remark below if auto-complete of addresses in Mail does not work after import.
Filter Importing (Mac OS X Mail)
Directly convert Eudora filter files into rules for Mail.app
What's New:
Fix table_of_contents creation on system 10.3.x - due to a change in CodeWarrior 9, the time stamp inside the file was written in the local time zone instead of UTC. Mail on 10.2.x had no problem with this but on 10.3.x the complete TOC would be rejected as malformed resulting in all messages being shown as unread.
Import to Mail in 10.3.x was probably broken (status flags not preserved) since version 4.4.1 - testing on old system versions is somewhat of a hassle and has lower priority.
Don't truncate long subject headers if the original header was wrapping around multiple lines.
Fix conversion of multipart/digest messages - you should no longer see random headers within the message text.
Reduce number of reads when reading message information from Eudora's TOC - read all information for one message at once instead of reading the individual pieces. This makes the code much cleaner and easier to maintain and possibly enhance.
Properly identify recognized *.toc files and empty files during the initial scanning phase instead of listing them as "unknown format" in the log file.
