Importing email databases from other programs

[quote user="irelam"]

I suggest you export mail folders from Eudora as type Mbx.   Then in Pegasus Mail go to Folders screen and select button Add. Enter a name for the folder and a type of Unix mailbox format.   Now go to Windows Explorer and select the just exported mbx file, and drag and drop it onto the foldername just created in Pegasus Mail.

Apparently also you can import from Eudora via the "Add folder to list" facility in the Folders menu on the toolbar.

How do you import email addresses from Eudora or Aol. Why is there not an import option inside Pegasus.

I have several email addresses exported from Eudora unsing mailconv32.exe into a text file. I would like to know how to get those emails into Pegasus. Do I need an external program or can Pegasus be used to do it?

If there is a good program to do it I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as I found mailconv32.exe as it was not very helpful for importing into Pegasus. If someone has done it before I would appreciate your help.

And finally if cost is not a problem here are a couple of commercial programs to do this  type of conversion.

I thank you for your help, but I could not get Dawn to import the emails. I do not want to import address books. I want to import actual emails from Eudora into Pegasus, and from Aol database into Pegasus.
