It seems that Eudora is unable to comply with Comcast's new regulations, and I understand that Thunderbird is its successor. The question is, how to migrate all of my mailboxes and address book over to Thunderbird?

you will need an old copy of Thunderbird that contained the import conversion ability V17 appear popular for that usage.

You can get an installer here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/17.0.9esr/win32/en-US/

Then when the import is done update to the latest version of Thunderbird from getthunderbird.com

Everything seemed to be imported but the address book. It will take some time to decipher it all, though. Thanks for the advice.

It was helpful indirectly after the transfer, and I actually should have followed this before transferring as there are no options for ports in Eudora Settings in TB as is. I may have to go back and start all over again. Thanks for your input.
