The Mail app itself doesn't have an address book / contacts capability. 
You have to use the separate app called "Contacts". You'll probably 
have to export them from Eudora as a CSV or similar, and then you can 
import them into Contacts ... although it may be better to add them in 
manually to allow you to weed out any unneeded old ones.

Mail does pick-up the address from Contacts when you start typing a name, etc.


The filters are called "Rules" in Mail, but you will probably have to 
recreate from scratch if you still need them, and you can again weed 
out any unneeded old ones.
