Can someone please forward some more information regarding this matter and or a link? Thank you. I hope you get your Thunderbird issue resolved, but if its anything like the Eudora -> Outlook import, then there will be no other way around it... the mailboxes will have to be moved not only to the local computer but also to the Eudora program folder (not the user's Doc & Settings fodler). This might be a pain, but I am willing to bet that it will work if its done this way. <!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

There has been some confusion as to when the actual contract with Qualcomm expires, but it is definitely expiring this year. We have also been testing the import feature within Thunderbird in hopes to put documentation up for users. I have been finding problems on the Mac side, although Eudora Mailbox Cleaner does seem to resolve most of the problems. I would like to hear from the people on campus who have experienced problems. Please email me directly. I know that I did talk to Tom Holub while at UCCSC, he also had problems. Tom, care to elaborate? Yes, Eudora will be in violation of the campus minimum security standards when the contract expires. We are more concerned with any attacks which might occur since the word is out there that Eudora will no longer have any security fixes. We are also not saying that Thunderbird will become the supported client for campus. That remains to be seen and is a decision which should be made by someone other than myself!! I would like to hear from everyone!

This presents the challenge of moving mailboxes, address books, and filters from Eudora to Thunderbird. Our initial research and testing hasnít left us thrilled with the project. (We keep our usersí mailboxes on a file server, not on the usersí local computers.) Can anyone suggest a source of information which will assist us? Has anyone already successfully completed such a migration? Jon Johnsen Information Systems Office 461 University Hall School of Public Health, UC Berkeley 510 642 5030
