Hi Riccardo,

I did a quick Google search and found the following information.  It sounds like it could work, BUT... you would need to install Thunderbird for the purpose of re-binding the attachments, and then move everything from there to The Bat!


====quote====
The two programs store attachments differently: Eudora detaches them from the e-mail and stores them separately as files, usually in a folder named "Attachments" or "Attach". Thunderbird keeps the attachment together with the e-mail.
When importing from Eudora, Thunderbird attempts to join the attachment back to the e-mail it came with. This can take quite a long time if there are a large number of attachments. Also, because they include the attachments, Thunderbird's mailbox files are larger than Eudora's, though that is usually harmless.
...IMPORTANT: Do not delete Eudora's attachments folder or you will lose all your attachments. Also, please note that this solution is untested; use it at your own risk.

Here is a link to the page, which contains further information that may or may not be useful to you:

Hope this works for you!

Thanks for your reply.  After doing some searching around the Web, I did find a script written back in 2002 by a PocoMail user.  It perfectly works for re-binding attachments to the messages.  And from there they can be perfectly migrated over to TB.  This is GOOD NEWS for PocoMail users who are looking for a new home!

PM still works very well, even 5 years after its final version was released.  I'm using it on Windows 8.1, but it is showing signs of age in minor ways, so I'm getting out now before I have serious problems down the road.  A thorough test of a number of other email clients has ended here with The Bat!  It has plenty of useful features, and some nice functionalities that suit me better than other POP3 clients.

If any PocoMail refugees read this, and need to re-bind their attachments, the script can be found here in the old PocoMail forum archives.

AFAIK it's not possible to reconnect messages to external attachments once the connection has been lost. And f I read you correctly, the messages have been imported without the attachments and you've added the files manually to the attachment directory.
TB needs to receive the message with attachment and has to extract the attachment by itself in order to keep them bonded.

I'm coming from more than ten years with PocoMail, which was configured to store attachments in a separate folder.  After importing all my messages into TB, I also moved all the attachments from the Poco folder to a new TB folder, and then adjusted the TB settings to keep attachments "Separately in a special directory". But when I open those messages, the attachments are not there.

How can I fix this?
