- If you convert your Eudora Nicknames/Address Book to Thunderbird: (9/17/2008)
- Drag your converted Eudora Nicknames to "Personal Address Book" to ensure they are stored/backed up on your x: drive.
- Details: If you imported your Eudora Address books into Thunderbird
- Thunderbird attachment handling: (9/5/2008)
- Attachments are handled differently in Thunderbird. There is NO "x:\mail\attach" directory. If you need to edit an attachment (word, excel, etc) that someone has e-mailed you, be sure to to to a File > "Save As" (Not "Save") to avoid losing any data.
- 11/4/2008: Because of the way Eudora handles attachments, e-mails in your Eudora "out" box do not convert over to Thunderbird. All attachments in folders other than the "out" box will convert over. If you need to re-forward an attachment from your outbox, you must create a new e-mail and re-attach the file from the original location.
- Eudora Filters:
- Eudora Filters do not convert over to Thunderbird. If you have any e-mail filters set up, you will need to re-create them after Thunderbird is set up.
- Vacation Message/Out of office: With NACS' server there is a different website to set up your vacation message...
Prerequisites
- Adcom's custom Thunderbird package should already be installed on your machine. If you do not see a Thunderbird icon on your desktop, please put in a request to Adcom Desktop Support to have the "Thunderbird package" installed on your system.
- You must have a folder in your "My Documents" folder called "thunderbird_profile" (See Step 1 below)
- You will need approximately 30 minutes - 1 hour of your time (more if you have several years of e-mail) to convert your old Eudora mail to thunderbird.
- Thunderbird will convert your old Eudora Mail, and Eudora Address Book. Thunderbird will not convert previously set Eudora Filters.
- Adcom users with pager setups only (username-page@apollo...): E-mail or call Jeremy Paje before converting to Thunderbird to make sure the proper forwarding is set up to your pager.
