Eudora for Mac was the Macintosh version of the Eudora email client, which was also available for Microsoft Windows. The software lets users send, receive, and manage email messages.
The .tocf file contains table-of-contents information and other supporting data used by Eudora for Mac. It works with the program's mailbox data, helping Eudora display and manage the messages stored in its mailboxes.
This is a legacy format associated with Eudora for Mac on Apple Mac OS X. Eudora for Mac is no longer maintained, so the format is generally encountered only in older mail archives or installations.
Open a .tocf file with Eudora for Mac on Apple Mac OS X. The file is normally opened and maintained automatically by Eudora rather than opened manually.
Do not edit the file in a text editor. If Eudora is unavailable, the associated mailbox files are more useful for mail recovery or migration than the TOCF file itself.
A .tocf file is an internal Eudora data file and is not normally converted on its own. Keep it with the associated Eudora mailbox data when preserving or moving an archive.
To migrate the email, use Eudora's available export or mailbox-copy functions to move the mailbox data. The TOCF file itself is not a standalone document suitable for conversion.
