Eudora question: Can you combine Inboxes?

I have two copies of Eudora (well, assuming I recover my other one, which is likely), and I was wondering if there is a way to combine the Inboxes of the two instead of overwriting one with the other? It's not something I've considered before, but this is the first time I've restarted using an older Eudora installation after I trashed the partition on my main system. :)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Bingo -- that's it. Didn't realize it named every single folder. I guess I'm too used to Outlook at work which just lumps everything into archive.pst. :)

Thanks!

Just save all the xxxx.fol folders and the In.mbx and In.toc to a floppy if possible. Install your new Eudora and copy the folders and the files into the new Eudora directory. All your old mail will be there when you fire it up... ;)

zonker: The problem is that I have two working copies of Eudora with two separate Inboxes (and other folders) with email in them. I've transferred old mail into a new installation, but never have I combined two sets of old mail into one. :)

Another Eudora question. Has anyone had problems importing a .pst file from Outlook 2000 into Eudora 5? I get nothing but an error message when I try to import. Otherwise Eudora is awesome!
