[geeks] Stupit Eudora

[Edward Chase]

Depends on what version of Windows and how you installed it.

On a Win9x box, all the files are in C:\Eudora by default
On a WinNT/2K box, the mail files can be somewhere in C:\Documents and 
Settings\<username> folder

You're looking for
*.mbx         <- your mailboxes
*.toc         <- table of contents to the mailboxes
nndbase.toc   <- table of contents to address book
nndbase.txt   <- address book
rcpdbase.txt  <- recipient list
descmap.pce   <- some connection between mailbox filenames and descriptive 
names
