Looks from MS website that they do not support import from Eudora 7 to
Outlook 2007. Strange that they would not help those wishing to go
over to the dark side.
Here is what I tried and worked for me YMMV.
Install Eudora 7 (if not already installed)
Install Outlook 2007 (don't let it setup accounts or import)
Go into c:\Program Files and rename the Eudora directory to
Eudora.Program
Make new directory c:\Program Files\Eudora
Copy your data files (mail boxes, folders, .toc files, etc) into c:
\Program Files\Eudora
Run Outlook 2007 and select File->ImportExport->Internet Mail and
Addresses
Select Eudora V2,3,4
When done delete c:\Program Files\Eudora
Rename the Eudora.Program directory back to Eudora so you can run or
uninstall Eudora 7
I struggled with this for some time but in the end it looks like
Outlook just couldn't find the data files and was to proud to ask.
PS. I was not able to import the account settings.
Best of luck.
