I'd guess it's pretty unlikely to find a program with all the "same" stuff as Eudora with an easy importer. You might try using WINE, (a path fraught with potholes) or consider this a show stopper and go back to Windows. Another something you might consider is to set up one or more IMAP accounts, and using Eudora, copy over all your email to the IMAP account. Then, access IMAP from Eudora and/or whatever mail program you want to use on Linux. This won't save your filtering rules and/or other meta information, but might minimize the pain of migration. -Ben On Monday 26 December 2005 15:52, Robert Moskowitz wrote: > At 03:42 PM 12/26/2005, Benjamin Smith wrote: > >I used Eudora for a long time on 'dows.
