The only way would be to quit Eudora, create the new file behind Eudora's back, assign it the right file extension, (I'd probably assign type and creator codes too), then re-launch Eudora. It will then see the mailbox you created. If you make that while Eudora is still running, then it won't be available to Eudora. I seem to recall that JD may have had some kind of way to nudge Eudora into seeing it, but I can't recall right now what it was.
If you tell Eudora to open a mailbox that you created while Eudora was running it will add it to the openable mailboxes list and the Mailboxes window. It doesn't even need to be in Eudora's Mail folder.
Consider asking Finder to duplicate an existing Eudora mailbox, "In" for instance. Rename it and blank out its contents with something like cat /dev/null > PathToTheNewMailbox.
Eudora will ask if you want to rebuild the table of contents for all of these hacks. I donno how you can avoid that dialog box.
