You know how difficult
it is to delete your mountain of e-mail. Yes, even plain-text messages
can eventually crowd your hard drive. Why not archive your Eudora mail
to a compressed, .zip-compatible file? You can archive your entire mailbox
or selected lists. If you're moving to another computer, you can easily
transfer your mailbox files to another machine. You can also back up your
critical Eudora system files and e-mail attachments, and the Quik Backup
feature allows for one-step backup using prior parameters.
