Eudora and Outlook – Both are desktop email applications developed for Windows and Mac OS. And as per the modern trend, MS Outlook surpasses Eudora in almost every department – be it looks, email management, PIM, or popularity. Thus, starting a Eudora to Outlook conversion cycle.
It is evident that neither Eudora nor MS Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013 are dependable when it comes to email conversion between them. None of these two email clients incorporates any native import/export procedure for direct easy data transfer. The reason could be the compatibility issue between both these email applications based on how they store their messages. On one hand, Eudora stores emails in MBX format (Eudora 7 and below), and MBOX (Eudora 8). On the other hand, Outlook uses its very own PST format for the same.
But no need to worry yet! There are solutions available.
In this article, we will introduce an efficient solution with capabilities to carry out Eudora Mail to Outlook conversion without any problems. But before that, we will brief you about the Eudora database. Since there is no point in migration without the actual data.
As discussed earlier, Eudora saves its email in MBX format. An important thing to note here is that all the attachments are stored separately in Attach folder. This is different from other email applications where attachments are saved along with emails in one database file. Thus making it easier for both emails and attachments to get transferred to Outlook.
Not only this but most of the online articles on Eudora also do not reveal the fact that Eudora 8 is an open-source application based on Thunderbird. And its database format is changed to MBOX(with no extension) which stores both the emails and attachments collectively in one single file.
Technically, we may say that MBX & MBOX are the same, but the presence of attachments in a separate folder makes a huge difference when it comes to email migration. Thus, developing a situation where many solutions fail to convert Eudora to Outlook 2016 with attachments.
