When my PowerMac G3 died, I was forced to upgrade and that included not 
having Eudora any longer.  :-(

The Eudora Mailboxes and Nicknames are simple text files. I luckily was 
able to save the data from the PowerMac, and now if I need to look at 
an old email or find an old email address I just open up the 
appropriate mailbox / nickname file in TextEdit (HTML emails make it a 
bit of a mess to read, but you could get around that if you needed to - 
I simply haven't bothered).  :-)
