I guess he referred to the Eudora->mbox migration step, so he could try 
thunderbird at all.

@Angelo:

Google hits some PST to XYZ programs.

IMHO Thunderbird can import messages from pst/OE, esp. when you run it on 
the same computer as Outlook Express.

When you have imported them into TB, they are (more or less) mbox files 
located in the Imap(Mail) subdir of your profile, which you can transform 
with the mb2md.pl script.

=================

However, I would still at least *try* the plain IMAP method in OE.
