Dear Listers, I was using eudora 5.2 on a windows 98 se. I copied the exe file to my new xp home edition laptop and tried to install it. It would unpack but not install. so I went to the internet and downloaded version 6.1 I was able to transfer my mailbox contents to the new version but I cannot get the address book to rebuild. I copied the file into my eudora directory. I went into my new eudora and it is not there. I then put in my first entry and closed the program. I then went back to the directory and the old nndbase.txt file is still there with the original file date which means it did not update. I don't understand. Any help would be appreciated. thanks much.
