[wellylug] Moving from Eudora to Ximian

[Klenner, Colin]

That's exactly the issue - there is no way to import via csv into Evolution.
And Eudora does not export to LDIF format either.

So I am stuck with exporting everything to .vcf (vcards) and importing one
at a time - and Eudora does not write the vcard header correctly so
Evolution imports it as a name and email address but all the rest of teh
detail in in the comments text area instead of in the correct fields.

I read about exporting to csv, importing to Mozilla, exporting to LDIF,
importing to Evolution, but I could not get the import to Mozilla to work.

So it looks like the long way round {sigh}
