From: Hillel Bodek on 20 Feb 2010 19:49
I have replaced my Windows XP computer with a computer running Windows 7.
On my XP computer the Eudora Program was loaded onto the programs area and
the data (mbx. toc, etc) were in Application Data area. The file system in
Windows 7, is somewhat different. I loaded the program on the program area.
I then loaded data on the users area/application data. Apparently, the
program is not recognizing the material in the users area/application data.

How can I get the Eudora 7.1.9 which installed perfectly, to access the
data. Should I place the program and the data in the same Eudora Program
folder (which has several folders for the program).

By the way, I was able to reinstall spamnix and the attachment reminder.

Thanks for any assistance.

The default location for the data files (which the installer will
choose for you) is:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\Eudora

Note the AppData, not Application Data, which is a different folder.

"Help" > "About Eudora" shows your "Data" path, as illustrated by:

Just click where it says "Click," which opens that folder
(likely to be just where Ajo said).

Close Eudora first, then copy all your old corresponding data into that folder
(assuming you have not already started downloading new mail)

Anyone whose "Data" path is in the system Program Files area, however,
should reconsider:

What happens if you type %APPDATA% into the "Run" box,
or into the "location bar" of any "Windows Explorer" window?

%APPDATA% is an "Environment variable" on all Windows systems
(of this century, anyway :)

Should get you into the parent folder of this area,
even if it's a "hidden" folder.

The "Run" box can always be invoked by WindowsKey+R

Note that that forum post has been updated today to show the default
paths in Windows 7.
