from this gmail account to Mailwasher and Eudora 7.1.0.9 - Paid Mode [104]. This is the email setup I have maintained through XP, 2000, Vista, Win7 and now Win10. I have all my emails since 2002 all filed in a nested set of 1193 mailboxes distributedacross many folders and I can't bear the thought of trying to changeover to something new.
My problem has been caused by having to change my 20 year old email addresses because my former ISP couldn't service me in the remote area of South Australia I have just moved to so I had to change to a new ISP which doesn't offer e-mail addresses,only the satellite link to the internet. My former ISP is going to cut off my old email (jacq...@iprimus.com.au) in about two weeks as they don't offer an email only access; I have to get this sorted fast - I have about 260 logins linked to my old email
I haven't put any technical details in this first communication because I have gotten so confused trying to research this on my own that I just don't know what to do,
Yours Sincerely,
Kaelkitty.

Don't forget to notify all your friends of your new email address.

In some ways, it's best to send it from the _old_ address: that way you
can pick up the ones that reply saying "sure, Fred, I'll update my
address book" - and do it by hitting "reply", which means they _won't_
do it. Include in your notification email "please send me an email when you've made the change".
More than once? Sure. Some will need telling many times.
Keep a list of those you've told, and by each log when you told them,
what address you told them to use, and when you got an email from them
to the old address.
Either configure your system to bounce emails sent to the old address if
it can, or make up a pretend bounce message you can send them manually.
There will also be those who don't know how to use their address book. (Usually identifiable by every email you get from them being a reply to
an earlier email from you - as that's the only way they know how to
contact you. This is commoner than you'd think!)

I need to REPLACE the "iprimus" address with the Gmail address for all
future emails.
The "iprimus" address will be completely shut down and disappear in a
few weeks time.
I don't want to keep all my future e-mails on the gmail server, I
want them to go to Eudora on my PC, in the same way that my old emails
have always done!
I found this post on-line: >https://www.lifewire.com/what-are-the-gmail-imap-settings-1170852

do not generalize well and I don't see how to change what they have
said to work with Eudora 7.

If that is not the case, please explain. If that _is_ the case, then the only way it can happen is for you to tell anyone who might send you an email, to use your new address. (This includes not only people and companies, but also automated systems that will send confirmation emails
to your old address. This is to stop anyone taking over your emails
without your consent.)

Are you sure you're using IMAP with "iprimus"? If you have always used
just the one device - your PC (and not any 'phones, or other PCs) - to collect from iprimus, and have been doing so for some years, then I
suspect you might have been using POP (sometimes called POP3) to collect emails from iprimus, rather than IMAP.
gmail support both POP and IMAP for email collection, though they don't
make it easy (for either protocol). In particular, if you want to use an older client like Eudora, you have to - once - change a setting in the
gmail web interface to "allow more insecure clients" (or something like that).
Sorry to add further complication!
