 | I have successfully imported from Eudora in earlier versions of Opera.
When I tried to import from Eudora today, Opera 8.00 kept saying 0
messages imported, although the Eudora mailbox has one message in it. I
tried several times.
Also, when I use the import Mail, Eudora, dialog, I see 5 eudora entries
using 2 different email addresses. They all appear to have the same
directory structure. Selecting one particular mailbox (the same) in any
of these five listings still imports NO messages.
I searched, and searched, but I could not find any place where these prior
import lists are stored. How can I get rid of the duplicates, get rid of
all of them and start over? Where is this mail import directory source
stored?
I don't want to import all eudora messages, just those in a single
mailbox, and this appears not to be working.

Apparently Opera creates a separate (duplicate) listing for each
personality defined in Eudora. The entire mailbox tree is listed under
each personality email address.

I double checked this by adding one more message to the mailbox. The
message I could not import was a sent message. A received message
imported ok. It looks like Opera imported the received message but
skipped over the sent message.
I created a mailbox in Eudora called extra.
I transferred one outgoing message to it.
I selected import mail from Eudora and selected the mailbox to import.
Nothing was imported.
I added one received message to the Eudora mailbox.
I selected import mail from Eudora and selected the mailbox to import.
Only the incoming message was imported. The sent message was not imported.
