Eudora was an e-mail client developed by Qualcomm for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh computers. Later open-source versions were based on Thunderbird source code and also ran on Linux.
An .sta file contains data used internally by Eudora. It forms part of the application's supporting files and is not normally a message, mailbox, or other user-created document.
Eudora is discontinued, so this format is mainly encountered in older Eudora installations and archived mail data.
Open an .sta file with the Eudora installation that created it, on Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS / Mac OS X. The file is intended for Eudora's internal use and may not display meaningful content when opened separately.
An .sta file is an internal Eudora data file and has no useful standalone conversion. No conversion for this file type is known. Keep it with the associated Eudora data if the application still requires it.
To move usable e-mail data to another program, use Eudora's available mail export or migration features rather than attempting to convert the .sta file directly.

The sta file extension is used by MAME, an arcade machine emulator available for Microsoft Windows and other platforms.
A sta file contains the saved state of a running game, including the information MAME needs to restore the emulation at approximately the point where it was saved. It is used with the corresponding game and is not a general-purpose game-save format.
Saved states are normally intended for use with the same game and a compatible MAME version or build. Changes between versions can make an existing state unusable.
Open the corresponding game in MAME, then use MAME's load-state function to restore the sta file. The file may need to be placed in MAME's configured state directory before it can be selected.
If MAME does not recognize the file, make sure that the matching game is running and that the state was created with a compatible MAME version or build.
A sta file cannot be meaningfully converted to a standard save or media format. To create a state usable by another compatible MAME setup, load it in MAME and save it again using that installation.
