OR A CUSTOM DATA FOLDER which the default is the Eudora install folder.  MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE OPTION THAT MATCHES THE WAY EUDORA WAS INSTALLED ON THE OLD PC.  This will greatly reduce complication of migration.Step 1: Install Eudora on the new computer.  If possible, use the same directory install path as the Eudora install on the old computer.  This is not necessary, however, does simplify the process to some degree.Step 2: Open and Register the new installation.Step 3: Close Eudora on both systems.  Copy the ENTIRE Eudora folder from the old system over top the Eudora folder on the new system.  Replace all files.:note: Using FreeCommander one can do a compare, and copy only the difference files from the old to the new, this is also an option.Step 4: Edit deudora.ini:This is necessary only of the new PC Eudora install path is differentStep 5: Open and test Eudora on new PC.  Discontinue use of Eudora on old PC to prevent mail synchronization issues.
