Suggestions
Register (how to buy it)

a) Archive each email and/or each attachment in structured folders.
b) Archive all the email text in a single Text-File.
c) Archive all the email text in a single Tab-Text-File for using as database.

For all of these points you always should:
Launch the Eudora application.
Launch the EA application.

After you clicked on the splash screen, the console window will appear.



Choose the Eudora Main Source Folder you want to archive by clicking on the "Main Source Folder" icon.



Then choose a MailBox or a Folder (the Folders end with the "•" character) from the list and press OK.


• The "Eudora Main Source Selection" window.

If you want to archive all the emails found in the subfolders/mailboxes nested in the folder chosen you have to mark the check-box "Include Subfolders".

Press the RETURN key or click on the OK button, or double click on the row to set the Eudora Main Source Folder.

Once defined the Eudora Main Source folder (see above), you have to choose the Main Destination folder on your disk clicking on the "Main Destination Folder icon".



Before do that, please note that EA will create, on the destination folder, the same Eudora folders hierarchy, starting just from the Eudora source folder you have chosen earlier. For example, if you choose as the Eudora source folder the first row of the list "All" (all the Eudora folders and mailboxes), and if you choose as destination folder on the disk the folder "BackUp Folder Eudora Archiver", EA will create, inside the destination folder, the same whole Eudora folders hierarchy. Thus, the next time you want to archive (update) the Eudora source folder "Works" only, you should choose, as source folder the folder "Works", and as destination folder on the disk, the folder "Works" as well.
EA will skip the emails and attachments already archived.
Of course you could choose any other folder on the disk, but to prevent failures or confusion in your backup folder, we suggest to mantain the same hierarchycal folder names.


The result on your disk will appear as the following picture:

		Folder/MailBox (Name)
		Day Folders (Date)
		Email Folder (Time and Eudora Email ID)
		Email (Subject)
		Attachment (FileName)

•

EA creates, in the destination folder, a new sub-folder for each "Eudora Folder" or "Eudora Mailbox" archived, plus two nested folder–levels for each Eudora Folders or Eudora MailBox archived.
The first folder–level is the "Day Folder" which groups all the emails received or sent in that day.
The second folder–level is the "Email Folder" which groups the single email message and its related attachment (if any).

The "Email Folder" name reports the Time of the email (e.g. "10.15.04" minds hours, minutes, seconds) followed by the unique Eudora "ID" number of that email (between the brackets).
The Eudora unique ID number ensures the email has already saved on the disk, then EA will skip it the next time you will archive.

The "Day Folder" name depends of an option you may want to change easily by clicking on the icon "i".



The following "Destination Settings" window will appear.


•

, and to don't change this parameter if you already had archived earlier. Otherwise, EA will create a new folders structure on your destination disk.

From the "Destination Setting Windows" you can also choose to archive emails only, attachments only or both of them.
Click on the check-boxes which correspond to your needs.
You can also choose the creator for the email text-files EA will save. If you plan to open the email text-files by Microsoft Word application, choose it from the pop-up menu "Creator for saved emails". Your email text files will get the Microsoft Word file-icon, so you will be able to launch it with a double-click.

Then click on the OK button.

Now you can archive your Emails clicking on the button "Archive" on the EA console.

Once defined the Eudora Main Source folder (see above), you may want to archive all of your messages text in a single Text-File. To do that, simply go to the Destination Settings window clicking on the "i" icon



and mark the radio-button "Text File".

EA will append all the messages text to the end of the Text File you will choose next (from the console window).
You may want to create a new empty text file right now. Simply click on the "Text File" icon as shown in the previous picture and then create a new empty Text File on your disk (e.g. "MyNewTextFile"). EA will automatically define this new file as the destination File.
You can now press the OK button to confirm your settings.
If you created a new empty Text File (e.g. "MyNewTextFile"), you will find the "MyNewTextFile" already set as Destination Text File.

Anyway, you could ever choose a different file clicking on the "Text-File" icon on the console window, as shown below.
Pick an existing Text File from your disk.



EA will append to the Destination File "MyOldTextFile" all the messages text.






Now you can archive your Emails cliking on the button "Archive" on the EA console.

Once defined the Eudora Main Source folder (see above), you may want to archive all of your messages text in a single Tab-Text File and use it as a database source file. For example, you may want to import the Tab-Text File into the FileMaker Pro Database File "EmailManager" provided with the EA package. To do that, simply go to the Destination Settings window clicking on the "i" icon



and mark the radio-button "Tab-Text File".

EA will append all the messages text to the end of the Tab-Text File you will choose next (from the console window).
You may want to create a new empty Tab-Text File right now. Simply click on the "Tab-Text File" icon and then create a new empty Tab-Text File on your disk (e.g. "MyNewTabTextFile"). EA will automatically define this new file as the destination File.

All the fields are separated by the TAB character and each email is separated by the RETURN character.
If some field contains TABs, these will be replaced with the char 29 (Alt+TAB) as FMPro used to do.
If some field contains RETURNs, these will be replaced with the char 11 as FMPro used to do.

The Tab-Text structure is defined as follow:
ID tab FROM tab TO tab SUBJECT tab CC tab BCC tab RECEIVEDATE tab SENDDATE tab BODY return

Also you have to define the Date Format for the "Receiving Date" and the "Send Date" fields. If you are american, choose the format "MM-DD-YYYY" (Month, Day, Year), otherwise choose "DD-MM-YYYY" (Day, Month, Year). FileMaker Pro, needs to work with the date format of the fields according to the system date format.
You can now press the OK button to confirm your settings.
If you created a new empty Tab-Text File (e.g. "MyNewTabTextFile"), you will find the "MyNewTabTextFile" already set as Destination Tab-Text File.



Anyway, you could ever choose a different file clicking on the "Tab-Text File" icon on the console window, as shown below.
Pick an existing Tab-Text File from your disk.



EA will append to the Destination File "MyOldTabTextFile" all the messages tab-text.






Now you can archive your Emails cliking on the button "Archive" on the EA console.

To import the Tab-Text File just saved, in the "EmailManager" Database:
• Double click on the file "EmailManager" on the finder.
• Go to the "Utilities" area.
• Click on the icon "Import".
• Choose the file you have just saved.
• Set the file format to "Tab-Separator Text" file!!!
