Well, a file is a file not a folder. I think you mean mailbox, which is what
Eudora calls collections of messages in a file.

You shouldn't have to open mailbox files with an app. As long as they 
are in the
proper Eudora settings directory (location varies on installer and 
platform), it
should be able to detect them. Is this not the case?
