Converting Eudora Mailboxes to FileMaker
Pro Tab Separated Text
I've just put the finishing touches on Eudr2Tab.EXE. Couldn't find a
program to convert Eudora Mailboxes (.MBX) to tab separated text files.
I wanted to be able to do extremely fast searches on all my old, archived
emails in FileMaker Pro for Windows. This program translates the Eudora
File format to a standard TAB delimited file that FileMaker, Excel, and
other programs can read.
Although there is a MAC program available:

Eudora2Text by James Fortier, I couldn't find a PC version. So,
I wrote one. It's really a DOS program, so it will also work with Win 3.X,
Windows 95, or Windows 98.
There is also a GUI version for Windows 95, 98, 2000, etc.

If you wish to see the results of the program, send me a Eudora .MBX
file with *10* or less emails (in .ZIP form) and I'll use the program to
convert them for free, and send you the resulting .TAB file back.
It took me quite a bit of time and tricky programming, so I will charge
a nominal amount for a single user license. If you are interested:
