Hi Danny,
I tried sending the list of files in the Eudora file but it wouldn't
take them saying they were directories and couldn't be sent. So I
tried sending the folder with the files in it but with the same
results. I'm not sure how I could send them. That was a great idea
however so you could see them all.
Thanks anyway.

Bud -
You may be able to install Eudora as you are suggesting below, but that method could also cause difficulties. Is it possible for you to somehow send a listing of the files currently in your Eudora directory? That would allow me to tell you exactly which ones belong in each of the directories on the new system.
At the least, if you do try to install as you are now proposing, make sure you do not delete anything from your old installation or the thumb drive until the new installation is fully installed and working as it should.
Furthermore ....

Actually, 130 files is not that many files, particularly if you have mixed the program and the data files in the same directory.
Several mailboxes have three or four .mbx files. Don't know why so many but am afraid to delete any of them.
Since each mailbox is specifically defined by a single MBX and a single TOC file, no one mailbox can have multiple MBX files. Your definitely do not want to delete any of these files, but we should figure out just which mailboxes each of the files is assiciated with. Can you send the full file names of each MBX file?
Dan, you asked the version. It's 7.1.0.9.
Good, that is the latest available.
Anyway, can I just copy the Eudora folder onto a thumb drive and then copy it to the new computer?
Again, maybe, but this is not recommended until we know just which files are in the directory you are talking about.
If I get into trouble trying to do the transfer I may be back again looking for help.
If it would work better for you, we can set a time to talk directly about your installation problem, whether on the air, or by phone. Let me know if you would like to do this.
-Danny.
