MailConverter is a utility which converts mail and mail-like files of various sorts into Eudora or Z-Mail mailboxes. It can also be used in conjunction with Eumorpha to import files into Claris Emailer. In addition it can be used to generate rfc digests and to import a few kinds of nicknames into Eudora.
MailConverter works on several kinds of input files: Claris Emailer, mmdf, babyl, America Online, LeeMail, Pine, Elm, MacEMail, PopMail, eWorld, Genie, PC Eudora, Ricemail, cc:Mail (text archives only), vmsMail (text archives only), MSMail (text archives only), and CompuServe (text archives only) mail files; files saved from several news programs (NewsWatcher, nn, gnus); files saved from Eudora or Z-Mail; and any other text files that have typical mail headers at the beginning. Folders of files (recursively) can also be converted. Files which appear to be digests will automatically be burst. MailConverter will, of course, also inter-convert between Eudora and Z-Mail. Finally, it will import (only into Eudora) two sorts of address books (Pine and MacEMail), and it will generate rfc digests out of Eudora/Z-Mail mailboxes.

Known bugs
After resizing, the Mailbox Window will sometimes (often) have visual anomalies left over. I don't know why this is happening...
