DURING THE INSTALL YOU WILL BE ASKED TO USE THE WINDOWS DEFAULT DATA FOLDER (ie: Documents and Settings/..) 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.Tip #1: DURING THE INSTALL YOU WILL BE ASKED TO USE THE WINDOWS DEFAULT DATA FOLDER (ie: Documents and Settings/..) 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. Tip #2: Make sure you have hidden files enabled viewable in Windows Explorer. Eudora has hidden attribute files. If you can't see them then they may not get copied. Tip #3: BACK UP EVERYTHING before you begin. Recommend you create a copy, for example, PKZip the entire old Eudora folder and new Eudora folder. Also, if you used the default Windows data folder, make sure you back up \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora also on both systems. You will have either 2 or 4 total PKZip backup files. If anything goes wrong you can restore. <i>Process tested in lab using Eudora 7.1.0.9 with Data and Application folders both in the Eudora install path. You can tell where your data and install folders are by looking at the Eudora HELP, ABOUT EUDORA. It shows the info below the Eudora logo.</i>Additional Notes: The above process worked in lab testing. Eudora also documents a process, see http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1602hq.html for details.Some key files that will need to be copied from the old computer: deudora.ini eudora.ini LinkHistory.dat Eudora.GID descmap.pcecomment: On a lab system Eudora was successfully copied over to new PC even when the Eudora executable was accidentally left open running on the old system.
