The goal here is to migrate from Eudora Pro to Outlook 2007 with all the existing emails, contacts, and attachments. The email clients has role accounts for sending emails, like sales@your-company.com, support@your-company.com, but not receiving email, rather the personal account, like george@your-company.com is being used for receiving emails.

Why does the role account not receiving email, you may wonder. Just like president@whitehouse.gov is a role account, sending email to a role account will be aliased to a few people who monitor that account, so that any incoming email to the role account can be responded in timely manner.

Migrating from Eudora Pro to Outlook 2007 is a lot easier than you may think:

I) Copy all Eudora directory from c:\program files\qualcomm\qudora to new system. Install Eudrao and select this default directory. The purpose of install Eudora is for later to be imported into OutLook.

II) Install Popfile. Which will noticed the Eudora accounts and setup properly by itself. You may have to train the Popfile later.

III) Configure OutLook 2007

1) create first email account. This account will be your default email account when sending email out; If you don't want default, create one can not send email.

Receive email server IP address 127.0.0.1, sending server 192.168.12.xx

2) add other email accounts.

After setup all the email accounts, setup the accounts which will send email and which will not:

Select Tools | Send/Receive | Send/Receive Settings | Define Send/Receive Groups from the menu in Outlook. Highlight the All Accounts group.
Make sure Schedule an automatic send/receive every ___ minutes. is checked under Setting for group "All Accounts". Typically, you want the same setting unchecked under When Outlook is Offline.
Enter the desired interval for automatic mail retrieval.
Click Close.

Highlight the All Accounts group in the Send/Receive Groups dialog.
Click Edit....
Now highlight the account you want to exclude on the left.
Make sure Include the selected account in this group is not checked.
Click OK.

3) import email messages and accounts into Eudora:

4) Change the outlook auto correction feature:
