Migrate Eudora Data into Entourage

This procedure will take you through the proper steps for migrating your Eudora messages and address book data into Entourage. These instructions only pertain to the latest version of Entourage that we support, however they may be similar enough to also be appropriate for previous versions.

Note: Please be aware that migrating your Eudora messages may not migrate any attachments that are included with those messages. Your attachments however will still be accessible though Eudora at anytime in the Attachments Folder should you need them. NUIT recommends that if you wish to delete Eudora from your hard drive, you should first archive any attachments that you would like to save.

Note: If Eudora is setup for using POP, you need to make sure that Eudora is set to NOT leave mail on the server. Please review Configuring Eudora for Macintosh to use POP to make sure that the Leave mail on server checkbox is unchecked.

   System Folder
