Well, this is a mega FAQ.
Edit your config file to create an entry for a C: drive; it should be
something like
[Drive C]
"Path" = "/win98"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95" `
and then define one for your home directory
[Drive F]
"Path" = "/home/gallun"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95" `

Eudora is IMAP compatible. The bet to make it work without problems
is a lot better than with Outlook.
