The instructions say: "Any version of Claris Emailer 1, with the exception
of the original 1.0 release, should be compatible with Eumorpha". Later in
the same document it says: "This converter only works with Emailer
versions 1.0v2 through 1.1v3. It does not work with the original 1.0
release...".

So if you really were using 1.0, obviously it won't work. That version of
Emailer doesn't have the right AppleEvent support. If you were using 1.0v2
or later, the following additional instruction may be relevant: "You must 
have a valid account selected in order for message importing to complete
successfully."

If you followed *these* instructions, I can pretty much assure you that
you won't see the behavior you describe. If you do, you can contact me
(but see below).

To do *this*, you shouldn't be bothering with Emailer 1 or Eumorpha at
all. There are scripts which will import Eudora files directly into
Emailer 2. See
