INTRODUCTION
Eudora To Files is designed to export Eudora mailboxes to plain text files, ready to be read by any text reader such as NotePad, TextPad, or archived into databases such as Microsoft Access or SQL Server for long term storage.
 

OPERATIONS
Using Eudora To Files is a very simple process: With a single click, tens of thousands of e-mails will stream into flat files that can be immediately opened with a simple text reader such as NotePad, or TextPad, imported into applications, or archived into databases.

When the program first starts, the main window appears and "Mailboxes folder" points to the last mailboxes folder you used (if you use the program the very first time, the "Mailboxes folder" field will be where you first installed it

The "Output Path" is optional.  If you leave this box blank, all the extracted e-mail files will be created in the same folder where the program is located.  To select an output path, click the "Select Output Folder" button.  

At this point, the program is ready for action and waiting for you to click the "Begin Export" button. 

All the e-mail file names will be created using the format below:
Date - From - Subject - To.txt

Date = The date of the e-mail in the format YYYYMMDD.
From = The e-mail address of the sender.
Subject = The subject line of the e-mail.
To = The recipient of the e-mail.

Since Eudora To Files use all the combined 4 fields above to name your e-mail files, the name must conform to the Windows naming convention.  As such, it will replace the illegal characters below for naming Windows files with an underscore _:

\	Back slash 
/ 	Forward slash
: 	Colon
* 	Asterisk
? 	Question mark
"" 	Double quotation
< 	Less than
> 	Greater than
|	Pipe

Example:
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 01:55:03 -0800
From: Support - DevExpress <support@DevExpress.com>
Subject: RE: Connecting Grid To Data Source
To: 'Chris Doan' <doanc@san.rr.com>

The name of the created e-mail file will be:

20040226-support@DevExpress.com-RE_ Connecting Grid To Data Source-'Chris Doan'_ doanc@san.rr.com_.txt

Note how the colon after the RE:, before and after the recipient are renamed _ in the file name because colon, less than, and greater than characters are illegal in the Windows file naming convention.
