Collecting E-mails for Legal Deposition
I'm an expert witness in a patent infringement case and need to
produce copies of all the E-mail to and from my client from 2000 to the present time. I have all the E-mails in folders by year and month. (Eudora v7.1.0.9) What is the best way to extract just the client E-mail and collect into a single text file? There's only ~2400 of them :-) Thanks! ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

It would probably take about a day to do that manually (and might result in the odd error). The script idea would work okay. Another method would be to create a mailbox just for the target files and filter the messages (setting up an appropriate filter function and using Special-Filter Messages in Eudora) to that mailbox. Inspect, then select all and print out all the messages to a PDF or whatever. Whatever method you use, be sure to check that you've got them all and no extras-- it's VERY easy to miss ones that were sent from a different computer or whatever depending on what criteria you are using to do the selection. |

Yep. It dawned on me to use a filter, with ID criteria and a date range, and filter them into a new mailbox _folder_, which allowed me to make it a text file... 228,126 lines... I hope the attorneys enjoy it ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

Even if it took 3-4 hours to write and debug, time/effort spent would make for a winner. |
