How to Upgrade From Eudora Worldmail 2 to Worldmail 3

Rather than strictly upgrade your Eudora Worldmail 2 server software to the Worldmail 3 product, the process of making the upward switch involves installing Worldmail 3. Then, you will import your Worldmail 2 information and settings into the Worldmail 3 program to complete the upgrade.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Eudora Worldmail 2 server software

1. Keep in mind that Worldmail 3 may be branded under the name "MailSite" or "MailSite SE." Eudora rebranded the Worldmail name as MailSite following the launch of Worldmail 3, and the Worldmail 3 product is sometimes sold under the MailSite name, though the two server software products are identical in function.
2. Go to the computer where Worldmail 2 was initially installed to upgrade an entire network.
3. Install the Worldmail 3 files into a different directory than you use for Worldmail 2. Keep the Worldmail 2 files intact.
4. Click on the "Start" button, click on "Run," type "cmd" (short for "command") and click "OK."
5. Click through to your Worldmail 3 directory by selecting the Worldmail 3 program files from the location to which you downloaded them. By default, the program creates a dedicated directory in your "Program Files" folder on your "C:" drive (in Windows).
6. Engage the command utility known as "MsconvUser2" from the "cmd" feature of your Windows "Start" menu. Use the following syntax to export the Worldmail 2 information into the new Worldmail 3 application: "MsconvUser2.exe -m WorldMail -o -b---x -w ." The "" command will be used to specify the file you want to export, which is usually the "targetfile.xml." The "" commands indicate the location of each respective version's program files, which are set up by default in your "C:/Program Files" directory.
7. Use the "MsImportExport" utility to import your Worldmail 2 information into Worldmail 3. Using the command line again (obtained by clicking on "Start," selecting "Run" and typing "cmd"), type the following command: "MsImportExport.exe -import filename.xml -server -domains -mailboxes."
8. Convert your existing Worldmail 2 email into Worldmail 3 with the "msconv2" command line utility. In the "cmd" feature, type: "msconv2 -s WorldMail -d ." The "" field can be left blank. If it is, Worldmail 3 will simply import everything from Worldmail 2, regardless of its specified domain.

Tips & Warnings

• Have your Worldmail 3 product license key ready and available when you perform the upgrade. You will be prompted to enter it in order to complete the upgrade process.
• Install Worldmail 3 into a dedicated directory on your computer's hard drive. Don't overwrite your Worldmail 2 files, or you'll wipe out your contacts list and be unable to import them into your Worldmail 3 program.
