Hi,
I just recently realized what a good app Mail.app is. I’ve been using Tbird on my Macbook for a long time and decided to use mail.app.

I tried Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import my tbird mail. I also tried renaming the tbird mail to mbox as described on the net.

However, both approaches can’t seem to import my Tbird Sent folder (sent mailbox) to Mail.app. Can anyone help me out with this? I have tons of sent messages I frequently refer to & therefore want to move to Mail.app.

Thanks!!

Using OSX10.4.10
Mail.app 2.1.1 (752.3)

This sounds great, because twice now we’ve had mail.app hang AND corrupt the entire hard drive while importing large Windows Eurdora mbx’s. Anything has got to be better than that abuse.

hehehe… Fair enough. I’m sorry. I just couldn’t resist, but I quite understand.

I think you are going to be out of luck with the fcc function, unless you cc it to a Gmail account set to forward to mail.app and then filter it as it comes back in with a mail.app rule. But that sounds complicated and might not be worth it.

hey, thanks for posting this! glad that andreas is seeing some more visibility for his hard work…

as for that gmail site, well, errr…i like web mail, but really i need to be able to compose offline and do a lot more than label, so i’m using gmail in thirds (time) – local (mail.app), mobile (on a treo) and via web interface (standard)….

however, mail.app is really slick, very impressed coming over from eudora – but there’s one simple feature that i really, really, really miss:

how does one replicate the “fcc” function – like ‘bcc’ but instead during composition one can simply assign a copy to be placed into a local folder via navigation…i just don’t see it, nor a plugin…
