Problem with migration from Eudora

more options

Like one of your previous questioners, I have an unfixable security certificate within Eudora (ver 7.1) and I want to migrate its address book, settings and mailboxes to Thunderbird. During installation, migration from Eudora is offered but greyed out. What can I do about that apart from trying the previous questioner's solution of using an old version of Thunderbird? My OS is Windows 8.1

There's a helpful article here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_from_Eudora_%28Thunderbird%29 You'll see that it recommends using an old version of Thunderbird; also that migrating the address book to Thunderbird is more straightforward because Eudora can export contacts data in standard .csv format. Looking on the internet there's at least one commercial program that promises to convert Eudora mail to other formats, but I've no idea if it works reliably.
