Email Woes

[eredien]

Does anyone know an address book conversion tool for Eudora so it will convert my address book into LDIF format? I have a lot of email addresses in my Eudora program that I need to import, but Eudora doesn't have a good way of putting its own address book into Eudoramail. Of course.

I found a conversion tool online at interguru.com, but even using that, it is ferociously slow. I must:
-convert my addresses.
-paste these addresses into a word document.
-get rid of the extraneous html code to get to a one-column email address list.
-paste these addresses, one by one, into my webmail program's whitelist.

The automatic conversion there only converted 171 email addresses; it printed out a 36-page long list of ones that it wouldn't correctly be able to convert and I would have to enter manually.

I weep.
Perhaps I should just grit my teeth and pay the extra money for a spiffy email account that will let you use an email client like Eudora to read your mail.

Oh well. At least if I go through this process once I will NEVER HAVE TO CHANGE EMAIL ADDRESSES AGAIN!

At least until it gets so intolerably spammed that you're forced to switch.

With my personal email, I'm whitelisting anyone who I want to hear from, and blocking anyone else from emailing me. Extreme, yet effective.

Extreme, yes. I hope you have a secondary account you can point unsolicited non-commercial e-mail to. It's awfully easy to meet someone new and not have their e-mail address to "whitelist" by the time they get around to saying hi -- and if they can't even contact you to say "whitelist me!" ...

But, it works for what it works for.

I do. Yay!

My suggestion of using weyr.org as a web server stands. You get free [username]@weyr.org email, and a webmail service too. But I'm sure you can use Eudora, or Pine.

Still thinking about it, Raki...thanks.
