Having trouble importing your Eudora addresses into your Palm Pilot?

This utility easily converts Eudora 4.x Nickname files to a text tab or comma delimited file to be imported into the 3Com^TM Palm Desktop^®, version 3.0. OR to an HTML file which can be viewed in any common web browser.

To Download:

Win 95, 98, and NT 3.51/4.0:
Click here --> e2p105.zip

Notice: If you downloaded this file before 2-11-99, you might have a version that does not import names and phone numbers correctly - I apologize for the inconvenience. Please download the file again and re-install. If the version you have DOES import first and last names, ignore this message.

A .zip file requires software that can extract from Zip archives, such as Winzip, http://www.winzip.com

To Install:

Click on setup.exe and follow the prompts, or, if you are in a WinZip window, choose "Actions | Install" and follow the prompts. If it prompts you to reboot your machine, do so and then restart the installation afterwards.

To Convert:

The left browse button is to pick the Eudora Nickname file you wish to convert (usually found in \eudora\nickame or \eudora), and the right browse button is to pick the folder where the converted file will be placed. The checkboxes in the "Import Fields" area designate whether or not you want to import those fields from your Eudora Nickname file. Uncheck the box if you do NOT wish to import the corresponding field. Then choose "comma" or "tab" to pick which method you wish to delimit the data (some Palm desktop software only supports Tab delimiting).

When the conversion is complete do the following in your Palm Desktop software:

1. Click on the "Address" button at left to bring the Address List up.
2. Pick the address category from the dropdown menu into which you want to import your converted Eudora names (or create a new category from Tools | Categories on the main menu. You might want to create a new category if you don't want to risk duplicate names being created within the same category.)
3. From the main menu, choose: File | Import and browse to the folder where you saved the "converted.tab" or "converted.csv" file. In the dropdown menu "Files of type:", choose "Comma Separated(".csv;".txt)" or Tab, depending on how you exported the file (above). You should now see the file that you converted.
4. Highlight the "converted.txt" file with your mouse and click "Open" to import the file.
5. At this point, you may scan the records, making sure that the fields on the left match up correctly with their values on the right - if they don't, you can simply click on a field name on the left and drag it up or down the list to match the data on the right (this will change all the records to be imported, so you don't have to do this for every one). When you are finished, click "Ok" to complete the import.
