Mailbox Search Results File

[ComputerJohn]

I need to do several searches of thousands of mailboxes I have in Eudora 7.1 and then mine the results for email addresses to re-establish a very old series of mail lists. I really need to harness the power of Eudora search, and then look at the results.
What is the file called when a search is done, is there a search.mbx or something similar result file? Can I cut and paste that off to the clipboard somehow?
I am looking at months of work if I can't do get Eudora to do some of the heavy lifting. Please any ideas?

This is the "Eudora 8" forum
("Eudora 8" is Thunderbird with a "Eudora flavor")

I think that search results in Eudora 7 (and earlier) are kept in memory.

Eudora's mail is stored in traditional, plain text "MBOX format" files:

Many tools exist which can run under Windows,
search for any data (or pattern), and collect results.

If you are familiar with such tools under Unix (or Linux),
you can use any Unix/Linux tools within Windows,
under the "Cygwin" environment
(or some alternative once made by Microsoft),
or search for other tools specific to your purpose.

No, it isn't But the question should have been asked in one of the other forums. This one is for "Filtering / Junk Mail (Spam) handling".

Ah so -- this forum is in a "general" group for "Classic" Eudora,
but not the specific "General" forum for "Eudora 8/Thunderbird"!

I emailed a suggestion to the "Penelope janitor" some while back,
suggesting a bit of forum renaming to clarify things,
which never occurred. Meanwhile,
I can't even sort out these forum names myself :)
