If you need to transfer mail from Eudora to Apple's Mail.app, try the 
Eudora mailbox cleaner.  Read about it here: 
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13341.  This fixes 
known issues with Mail's standard import.

Most people I work with that have multiple mailboxes with 1,000's of 
messages each think that Mail.app is too slow and stick with Eudora. 
Maybe try the above utility and see how mail works out for you.  It 
won't effect your Eudora mailboxes, so you can go back if you like.

I like using LaCie's SilverKeeper.  It lets me sync groups of data 
folders all at once.  Read about it here: 
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14521.  Regarding 
mail backups, if you absolutely have to have both machines with the 
same mail, I'd use IMAP instead of POP, unless your Powerbook can't 
be tethered to the internet all the time.  You could sync your 
Home/Eudora folder but I don't know if you would have to rebuild 
mailboxes all the time.

Hope this helps,

Peter
