How to Identify your Eudora Folder on Windows

Depending on your version of Windows and your configuration, Eudora can keep your messages, address book data and settings in one of many different places. If you want to back up or copy them, you first need to identify your Eudora folder.

Identify your Eudora Folder on Windows

To find your Eudora folder on Windows:

• Search for "eudora.ini" on your computer.

If you get only one result, the folder containing eudora.ini is your Eudora folder.

If there are multiple folders containing eudora.ini, you have to open them all to identify "your" Eudora folder. Look for .mbx files and .fol folders that match your setup of mailboxes in Eudora.
