Thanks!

Just to be clear, I haven't used Thunderbird since it failed to import
correctly a few years ago and I removed it. But I don't see anything in the
current Thunderbird documentation that shows that all the files/folders are
present as distinct Windows files/folders. In Eudora, every one of my 5,000+
folders and .mbx files can be separately opened (without using Eudora) and
thus also searched by Windows.
