Configuring Eudora

To send and receive messages, you must have an account on a computer running a POP (Post Office Protocol) server, and access to a computer running an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. Your incoming e-mail messages are delivered to the POP account, where you pick them up and transfer them to Eudora on your PC. Your outgoing messages are sent to the SMTP server to deliver to your recipients.

If you just installed Eudora and have opened it for the first time, the Getting Started Options are displayed. This is where you enter the required e-mail account information.

POP account
Real name
Connection Method

If your POP and SMTP servers are on the same computer, you do not need to specify an SMTP server. If they are not on the same computer, click on the Hosts category and enter in the SMTP field the full name of the computer running the SMTP server.

You are now ready to send and receive e-mail. If you have additional POP accounts, use the Personalities Options to specify information about them.


Registering Your Copy of Eudora

Depending on the software license you have for Eudora, you may be eligible for technical support directly from the Eudora Technical Support group. To receive technical support, you must register your copy of Eudora Pro in accordance with the terms defined in your license Agreement. If you have a previous version of Eudora Pro, you need to register this new version.

Note:	If you are part of a site license, you do not need to register. Contact your organizations e-mail administrator for support.

If you are eligible for technical support, you are prompted to register after you send the first message with your new version of Eudora Pro. Complete the registration form and click Register. The registration is put in the queue in your Out mailbox and is sent the next time you send queued messages.

If you dont want to register at that time, you can choose Not Now to be prompted 7 days later, or Never Register to never be prompted again. At any time, you can choose Register Eudora... from the Help menu to display the registration form.


Quitting Eudora

To quit Eudora, select Exit from the File menu. If you have queued messages, or timed messages due to be sent in the next 12 hours, you are given the option to send them.

The Trash mailbox is emptied if the Empty Trash on Quit option is on in the Miscellaneous Options.


Uninstalling Eudora Pro

You can uninstall Eudora by using the tools provided with your Windows operating system.

In Windows 95, open the control panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs, select Eudora Pro, and click Remove.

In Windows NT, open the Eudora Pro program group from within the Program Manager, then double-click on the Uninstall Eudora icon.


Creating an Outgoing Message

An outgoing message is a message you send to someone else.

To create an outgoing message, select the appropriate command from the Message menu. A new message window is displayed, referred to as the Composition Window.

Using an Alternate E-Mail Account
Replying to a Message
Forwarding a Message

Attaching a File to a Message


Using an Alternate E-Mail Account

You can set up alternate e-mail accounts, or personalities, for each e-mail account you have, and send and receive messages for all of them.

Setting Up Personalities
Creating a New Message as a Personality


Setting Up Personalities

To set up your personalities, open the Personalities Options and specify the following options for each personality: a name for the personality, your real name, and your POP account. You can also specify the following:

Default domain
Return address
SMTP server
Default signature
Default stationery
Check mail
Leave mail on server

The rest of the Options categories cannot be changed for specific personalities, they are effective for all. However, alternate personalities are automatically set to use a Winsock connection and password authentication, regardless of how those options are set in the Getting Started and Checking Mail Options.

If you want to change other options, or use a separate set of mailboxes for an account, see Putting Multiple Users on One PC.


Creating a New Message as a Personality

To create an outgoing message as an alternate personality, hold down the shift key and select one of the message creation commands from the Message menu (New Message, New Message To, etc.). The Message Options dialog is displayed.

Note:	The New Message With and Reply With commands will not display the Message Options dialog. If you want to open a stationery message with an alternate personality, select a stationery in the Message Options dialog.

Select the personality you want to use (and a stationery if you want), then click OK. The Composition Window is displayed with the alternate personality as the sender (and any stationery information if requested).

The default signature for that personality is used, or if you chose a stationery the signature for that stationery is used. However, you can always change the signature with the popup menu in the message toolbar (for details, see Using a Signature).


Using Stationery

Stationery files are templates for outgoing messages. If you find yourself repeatedly sending the same message, save the message as a stationery file and send it whenever you need to using the New Message With or Reply With commands. This way you dont have to copy and paste text into a message, you can just open a pre-written message and edit it as necessary.

Creating a Message with Stationery
Using a Stationery File for all Outgoing Messages

You can also set up filters to reply with stationery messages. For more information, see Filtering Messages.


Changing a Stationery File

To change a stationery file, open a new message with that stationery file, make your changes, then use the Save As option again to save your changes. To delete a stationery file, remove it from the Stationery directory.


Creating a Message with Stationery

To send a stationery message, select the stationery you want from the New Message With or Reply With submenus from the Message menu. A Composition Window is displayed containing the toolbar, header, and body from the stationery file. If you are replying to a message, the stationery is incorporated into the reply. You can edit and send this new message just as you would any other message.

The stationery message toolbar overides any of the Sending Mail or Personality options, such as the default signature, but you can change them once you open the message.


Using a Stationery File for all Outgoing Messages

To use a particular stationery file for all of your outgoing messages, select a stationery in the Sending Mail Options (only for your dominant personality), or in the Personalities Options (for any of your personalities).

If a default stationery file is set, all new messages use this stationery except those created using the Redirect or Send Again command.

The message toolbar you defined for the stationery overides any of the Sending Mail or Personality options, such as the default signature, but you can change them once you open the message.


Using a Signature

A signature is a few lines of text that are automatically added to the end of an outgoing message when it is sent. A signature can be whatever you want, but it is mostly used to give contact information (telephone, address, etc.). You can have as many signatures as you want.

Note:	Your signature is not displayed in the Eudora message window, but is added to the end of the message when it is sent.

Creating and Modifying the Standard Signature
Creating and Modifying Additional Signatures
Deleting a Signature
Including a Signature in Messages


Creating and Modifying the Standard Signature

To create or modify your Standard signature, select Standard from the Signatures submenu from the Tools menu. The Signature window is displayed. Enter your signature text, and select Save from the File menu to save your changes.


Creating and Modifying Additional Signatures

To create additional signatures, select New from the Signatures submenu from the Tools menu. An alert is displayed, asking you what you want to call it. Enter a name and click on OK to display a signature window. Enter your signature, save the file, and close the window. Your new signature is now part of the list of signatures.

To modify an additional signature, select the additional signature from the Signatures submenu from the Tools menu. The signature window is displayed for the signature you specified. Make any changes you want, save the file, and close the window. To remove a signature, drag the file from the Signatures directory into the Recycle Bin on your desktop.


Deleting a Signature

To delete a signature, select Delete from the Signatures submenu. A dialog is displayed with all of your signatures. Select the signatures that you want to delete, and click OK.


Including a Signature in Messages

To include a signature in an outgoing message, select the signature you want from the Signature popup on the message toolbar.

To include a particular signature in all of your outgoing messages, select a signature in the Sending Mail Options (only for your dominant personality), or in the Personalities Options (for any of your personalities).

If you have a default signature set, you can change it for a particular message by selecting a different signature from the popup menu on the message toolbar.


Setting the Message Priority

You can assign a priority to incoming and outgoing messages. The priority is only for you and your recipientsit does not affect the way mail transport systems handle the messages.

There are five priority levels available, 1 being the highest, 5 being the lowest. Each is represented by a small symbol in the icon bar of a message window and the Priority column of a message summary. Priority 3 is used for messages that have no assigned priorities, and it is not displayed. The high and highest priority symbols are red.

New messages are created with a Normal priority.

To change the priority of the current message, use the Priority popup.

Note:	To set up Eudora to always use the senders priority on your replies, turn on the Copy originals priority to reply option in the Replying Options. You can always change the priority in the message window.


Requesting a Return Receipt

To request that your recipients notify you when they have seen your message, click on the Return Receipt icon in the message window.

When your recipients open the message then close it, a dialog is displayed asking them to create a notification message now, later, or never (if you sent yourself a copy, you will not get the notification request). If a recipient chooses to create a notification message, it is sent to you and tells you when the recipient displayed your message.

These Return Receipt options may or may not work as described, depending on your recipients e-mail software.


Word Wrap

If you turn on the Word Wrap icon in the composition window, carriage returns are inserted automatically when the message is sent, at roughly 76 characters per line. This makes the message legible on the recipients computer.

It is a good idea not to include your own carriage returns within paragraphs if you have this option on. Only use carriage returns to create new paragraphs.

To manually wrap text, select the text you want, then select Wrap Selection from the Edit menu. To unwrap text, select the text you want, then hold down the Shift key and select Wrap Selection from the Edit menu.

To copy wrapped text without taking the carriage returns, hold down the Shift key and select Copy from the Edit menu.


Attaching a File to a Message

Any file can be attached to and sent with a Eudora message. Most attached files function like riders to the e-mail message, and are not included in the body of the message.

When the message is sent, it is encoded in the selected attachment type:

MIME
BinHex
Uuencode
Quoted-Printable (QP)

If you send an attachment to someone who doesnt use Eudora, the attached file will probably be included at the end of the message in the chosen encoding method (MIME, BinHex, or Uuencode), which look like a jumbled mess. Your recipient should save the message as a file, then decode the file using an application appropriate for the encoding method.

To make a plain text file function as a regular attachment, turn on the Text as Attachment button in the message window. (Otherwise, the text of the file is included in the body of the message.) You can make this the default if you turn off the Put text attachments in body of message option in the Attachments Options. (This sets the Text as Attachment button to on in the message window.)

To attach a file to a current outgoing message, select Attach File from the Message menu. A standard file dialog is displayed. Find the file you want, select it, and click on the Attach button to attach the document to the message. The name of the document is displayed automatically in the Attachments field. You can add as many attachments as you want.

You can also drag one or more files from the Desktop onto the message window to attach them.

To detach a document before the message is sent, select the document in the Attachments field, then press the delete key or select Clear from the Edit menu.


MIME Encoding
MIME

This encoding method is best for recipients with MIME-compliant e-mail readers, regardless of what operating system they are using.


BinHex Encoding
BinHex

This is best for recipients on a Macintosh with an e-mail reader that is not MIME-compliant.


Uuencode Encoding
Uuencode

This is best for recipients using PC or Unix systems that are not MIME compliant.


Including a URL in a Message

To include a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in a message, enclose it with less than and greater than signs to ensure that your recipients application can identify it as a URL.

For example, <http://www.eudora.com/>. The URL is automatically highlighted as an active URL in your message window.


Checking Your Spelling

Eudora includes a built-in spelling checker. It can be used to check for misspellings in the body of current message composition windows, text files, and signature files.  It includes a built-in dictionary and also allows for the creation of a custom user dictionary.  Additionally, it can be configured to ignore capitalized words, words with numbers, and mixed case words, to report mixed case and doubled (repeated) words, and to suggest alternative spellings.

Note:	Changes to the spell checking options can be made in the Spell Checking Options or by selecting Options from the Check Spelling dialog.

See Appendix A of the user manual for information on how to get dictionaries for languages other than English.

To check the spelling of a current composition window, text file, or signature file, click on the Check Spelling button in the main window toolbar or select Check Spelling from the Edit menu.  If there are no misspellings, the No misspellings found alert is displayed.

Note:	If text is selected, Eudora only checks the spelling of the selected text.  Otherwise, it starts the spelling check from the beginning of the message body or text file and checks the entire text.

If a misspelled, unknown, or repeated word is found, the Check Spelling dialog is displayed with the word listed in the Unknown field.

To correct the misspelled word, type the correct spelling of the word in the Change To field, select it from Suggestions list and click the Change button, or double-click it in the Suggestions list.  The spelling checker then proceeds with the check.

To automatically check spelling when you send or queue a message, turn on the Check on queue option in the Spell Checking Options.

If this is on, when you send or queue a message the message is checked for spelling errors. If you go through the spell checking process, the message is automatically sent or queued. If you click Cancel, or leave spelling errors in the message, a dialog is displayed asking you if you still want to send or queue the message. If you dont want that dialog to be displayed, turn on the Dont warn me anymore option (this can also be set in the Spell Checking Options).


Saving a Message for Later Changes

Sometimes it is convenient to save an outgoing message either as a safeguard when typing long messages, or so you can return to it later to make changes.

To save the current message, select Save from the File menu.

To save all of the messages that you have open, hold down the Ctrl key and select Save from the File menu.

Saved messages are put in the Out mailbox with a bullet () in the Status column. This indicates that the message has been saved and can be sent or queued.

You can continue making changes or close the message. If you try to close an outgoing message window without saving that version of the message, an alert is displayed asking if the message should be saved or the changes discarded. If you select Discard and the message has never been saved, the message is deleted.


Sending a Message Immediately

If you want to send your messages immediately instead of putting them in a queue to send later, then be sure the Immediate send option is on in the Sending Mail Options.

To send the current message, click on the Send button or select Send Immediately from the Message menu. A progress window is displayed to show the progress of the transmission.

If you have the Immediate send option on, but want to put the current message in the queue, hold down the Shift key and click on the Send button. The Change Queueing dialog is displayed and you can set detailed instructions. For more details, see Queueing a Message to Send Later or Queueing a Message to Send at a Certain Time.


Queueing a Message to Send Later

If you want to put your messages in a queue (in the Out mailbox) to send all together at a later time, be sure the Immediate send option is off in the Sending Mail Options.

You can set up Eudora to warn you if you try to delete a queued message, or try to quit Eudora with queued messages. To do this, turn those options on in the Extra Warnings Options.

To put the current message in the queue, click on the Queue button or select Queue Message from the Message menu. The message window is closed (if it was open) and the message is saved in the Out mailbox marked Q (meaning its ready to be delivered).

To send all of your queued messages, select Send Queued Messages from the File menu. A progress window is displayed momentarily at the top of the screen indicating the progress of the transmission.

If you have the Immediate send option off, but want to send a message immediately, hold down the Shift key and click on the Queue button. The Change Queueing dialog is displayed and you can select the Send message Right Now option.


Queueing a Message to Send at a Certain Time

To specify that a message be sent at a certain time in the future, select a message then select Change Queueing... from the Message menu. The Change Queueing dialog is displayed.

If you choose Right Now, the message is sent immediately when you click OK. If you choose Next time queued messages are sent, the message is queued in the Out mailbox with a Q in the status column and sent the next time queued messages are sent.

If you choose On or After, you can use the Time and Date fields to fill in the time and date when the message should be sent. The message is saved in the Out mailbox with a T in the status column, and is sent when the specified time arrives.

Note:	For the message to be sent at the correct time, Eudora must be running at that time. If Eudora is not running, the message is sent the first time Eudora is run after the specified time has passed.

If you choose Dont Send for a message that has never been queued, nothing happens. If the message has been queued already, the message status is changed from queued (Q) to saved (). The message is held in the Out mailbox until it is either deleted or re-queued and sent.


Editing a Queued Message

To edit a queued message, open the Out mailbox and double-click on the message summary. Make the necessary edits and save them. The message is kept in the Out mailbox. If you close the changed message without saving it, an alert is displayed asking you to verify the changes.


Taking a Message Out of the Queue

A message that is queued but is not yet sent can be unqueued using the Change Queueing command.

To do this, open the Out mailbox and select the desired message summary. Then, select Change Queueing... from the Message menu and click on Dont Send. This changes the message status from queued (Q) to saved (). The message is held in the Out mailbox until it is either deleted, re-queued, or sent.


Sending Queued Messages When Checking Mail

If the Send on check option in the Sending Mail Options is on, every time Eudora checks for mail (automatically or manually), all queued messages are automatically sent.


Sending Messages with Special Server Instructions

To send your queued messages with special instructions for the server, hold down the Shift key and select Send Queued Messages from the File menu. The Mail Transfer Options dialog is displayed. Set the options you want and click OK.

All the actions you have requested are completed. For details, see Managing Your Mail on the POP Server.


Replying to a Message

To create a reply addressed to the original sender, select Reply from the Message menu.

To create a reply addressed to the original sender and all of the original recipients, select Reply to All from the Message menu.

A new message window is displayed with all of the senders original text quoted in the message body. This text can be edited as needed. Additional text can be added to the reply just as to any outgoing message, and the reply can then be sent or saved for further changes.

If the senders text did not include style information, each line is prefixed by a greater-than symbol (>).

Quoted text that does not include style information

If the senders text did include style information (e.g., bold text), it is quoted with greater-than and less-than symbols above it and below it, and a left sidebar.

Quoted text that includes style information

Messages that have been replied to are identified with an R in the Status column of their message summary.


Using the Reply Functions

There are several options that you can use when replying to messages.

To include yourself as a recipient, turn on the Include yourself option in the Replying Options. This only works if you are using Reply To All.

Note:	To determine who you are, Eudora uses the me nickname, if you create one for yourself. If not, Eudora uses the contents of the POP account and Return address fields from the Personal Information Options.

To put the addresses of the other recipients of the original message in the Cc field (instead of the To field), turn on the Put original To recipients in Cc field, not To field option in the Replying Options. Only the original senders address is put in the To field. This only works if you are using Reply To All.

To copy the original messages priority to your replies, turn on Copy original priority in the Replying Options.

To map Ctrl-R to Reply to All, instead of Reply, turn this option on in the Replying Options.


Replying with a Stationery File

To reply to a message with a stationery file, select a stationery from the Reply With submenu from the Message menu. A composition window is displayed with the original text quoted and the text from the stationery message below it.

For details about stationery, see Using Stationery.


Forwarding a Message

Any message can be forwarded to someone else.

To forward the current message, select Forward from the Message menu. A new message window is displayed with your address in the From field, the original senders text quoted in the message body, and the original attachments in the Attachments field. For details on how text is quoted, see Replying to Messages.

Note:	If you forward an outgoing message (a message you sent), the attachment(s) is not included.

Make any changes you want, and enter the recipients address in the To field. The message can then be sent or saved for further changes.

Messages that have been forwarded are identified with an F in the Status column of their message summary.


Redirecting a Message

Incoming messages can be sent to a new recipient by way of you, maintaining the original senders address in the From field. This is called redirecting.

To redirect the current message, select Redirect from the Message menu. A new message window is displayed with the original senders address in the From field with the statement by way of your address, the original senders text in the message body, and the original attachments in the Attachments field. Make any changes you want, and enter the recipients address in the To field. The message can then be sent or saved for further changes.

Note:	You may want to enclose any changes in brackets ([]) so that you dont confuse the recipient about who wrote what.

Messages that have been redirected are identified with an D in the Status column of their message summary.


Turbo Redirecting

You can redirect one or more message to someone on your recipient list, queue the new message (without displaying it), and delete the original message, all with one command.

To make Turbo Redirect the default menu option, turn on the Turbo redirect by default option in the Miscellaneous Options. Then, when you select a message and use the Redirect To command, the message is automatically queued in the Out mailbox and the original is deleted.


Redirect and Signatures

When you use Redirect, your signature is not added to the message when it is sent, unless you originally created the message. Eudora considers the message to be originally from you if the address in the From field exactly matches your return address, or your nickname called me.


Keeping Copies of Outgoing Messages

There are three ways to keep copies of your outgoing messages.

To put a copy of every outgoing message in the Out mailbox, turn on the Keep copies option in the Sending Mail Options.

To put a copy of the current outgoing message in the Out mailbox, turn on the Keep Copy icon in the toolbar.

To put a copy of the current outgoing message in a particular mailbox, click right in the message body and select the mailbox from the Fcc menu.

In all these cases, when the messages are sent they are put in the specified mailbox with S in the Status column, indicating that the message has been sent.

If none of these options are used, outgoing messages are put into the Trash mailbox.

Note:	You can also set up a filter to save outgoing messages in particular mailboxes based on information contained in the message. See Filtering Messages for more information.


Sending Rejected Messages Again

If for some reason an e-mail message cant be delivered to a recipient, mail transport agents return the message to the original sender (you). A message is typically rejected because of an error in the recipients address, although many other reasons are possible.

The return message usually includes cryptic information that may let you determine the reason the message was rejected. It also includes the text of the original message.

You can usually recover the original message, make any corrections, and resend it.

To do this for the current message, select Send Again from the Message menu. This eliminates the inserted extra text and reformats the message as it originally appeared. You can then make changes or additions and send the message again.


Checking for Mail Automatically

You can set up Eudora to automatically check your POP server(s) and transfer new mail every so often. To do an automatic mail check Eudora has to be running, but you can be using other applications on your PC.

To set up automatic mail checks:

Open the Checking Mail Options and in the Check for mail every ? minutes option, enter the number of minutes that you want between mail checks. For example, if you enter 15, Eudora checks for mail every 15 minutes. (15 minutes is a good minimum interval, because checking mail more frequently puts an unnecessary load on your POP server.)

Open the Personalities Options and turn on the Check Mail option for each personality that you want to be checked. The <Dominant> personality is your main account (specified with the Getting Started and other Options).

Note:	If automatic checking is set, the Check Mail command under the File menu displays the next time that an automatic check is scheduled to occur.

The Check Mail option also indicates that the account should be checked when you manually check for new mail.


Checking for Mail Manually

You can check for mail manually at any time.

To check for new mail, select Check Mail from the File menu.

Each account that has the Check Mail option turned on (in the Personalities Options) is checked. If you havent successfully entered your password for an account, you are prompted for it. A progress window is momentarily displayed at the top of the screen indicating that an attempt to reach your POP account is being made.

Note:	If automatic checking is on and you manually check for new mail, the next automatic mail check will happen at the specified number of minutes after the manual check.


Stopping a Mail Check

If you want to stop a mail check in the middle, click on the Stop button in the progress window or press the Esc key.


Using Your Password

Each time you open Eudora and check mail for the first time, you need to enter your password. In the Password dialog, type in your password and click OK. If you make a mistake before clicking OK, simply backspace and re-enter the password correctly.

Note:	Your POP account password is case-sensitive, so the uppercase and lowercase characters must be typed in exactly.

If your password is rejected, an error message is displayed indicating that you have entered the wrong password.

Select Check Mail from the File menu to redisplay the password dialog.

As long as Eudora is running, it remembers all of your passwords. If you dont want it to remember (if, for example, you are away from your PC), select Forget Password(s) from the Special menu. The next time you check mail for any account, you are prompted for your password again.

You can also make Eudora remember all of your passwords from one session to the next, which means you never have to enter your passwords again, even if you quit and restart Eudora. You only want to do this if your PC is in a secure location, where there is no possible chance of someone else having access to it. To use this option, turn on Save password in the Checking Mail Options.


Changing Your Password

To change any of your passwords, select Change Password… from the Special menu, and select the personality you want to change the password for. You are prompted to enter your old password once, and your new password twice. Depending on the server you are using, the password can be up to 30 characters, but normally it is only 7 or 8.

This command only works if the POP server is running a compatible password-change server.

When you choose a new password, try not to use real words, names, dates, familiar acronyms, etc. Some systems require at least one number or symbol in your password, and you may want to do that even if it is not required.


Receiving New Mail

When Eudora does a mail check, you can be notified of new mail in one or all of the following ways: an alert dialog, the opening of the mailboxes to which new mail is delivered, and a special New Mail sound. These options are turned on or off in the Getting Attention Options.

When you receive notice that new mail has arrived, select Eudora from the applications menu. Mail usually arrives in the In mailbox (unless you are using filters to transfer messages). If the In mailbox is not already open, select In from the Mailbox menu. The messages are listed in the order they are received, with the most recent message listed last. Unread messages are designated by a bullet in the Status column of the message summary.

Double-click anywhere on a message summary to open the message. Incoming messages are saved indefinitely in the In mailbox (or the mailbox they are filtered into) until they are deleted or transferred to another mailbox.


Receiving Attachments

Unless you have specified a particular folder for your incoming attachments (see Specifying an Attachment Directory), they are automatically decoded and saved in the Attach Directory in your Eudora Directory. If you receive multiple attachments with the same name, a number is added to the end of each duplicate name, in the order they are received. Attachment names and icons are displayed at the bottom of incoming messages.

To open an attachment from the message window, double-click on the attachment name or its icon. If you have the application that the attachment was created in, that application launches and the attachment opens.


Specifying an Attachment Directory

If you do not want to use the default Attachment Directory to receive your attachments, open the Attachments Options and click on the large button beneath the Attachment Folder prompt. A standard file dialog is displayed.

Double-click on the name of the directory you want to use (its name should be displayed in the menu above the list), then click the Use Directory button. The dialog closes, leaving the Options dialog displayed. The name of the folder you just selected is now displayed in the Attachment Directory button.

Note:	If at any time Eudora cannot find your selected directory, an alert is displayed at startup informing you that the Attachment Directory is unavailable. Eudora will use the Attachment Directory in the Eudora direcotry for attachments until you designate a new directory.


Editing Incoming Messages

You can edit the message body in an incoming message if you turn on the Pencil icon in the message toolbar. You can also edit the Subject in the toolbar (this is the subject shown in the message summary).

To edit an incoming message, click on the Pencil icon to turn it on, then edit the message body. When you are done, save your changes and close the message.

To edit the subject of an incoming message, open it and edit the subject in the icon bar (not the subject in the message body). When you are done, click somewhere else in the message, or close it. The new subject is displayed in the message summary. The contents of the Subject field of the message header remain unchanged.

Note:	If you reply to the message, the original subject is used for the reply, not your changed subject.


Using Active URLs

Any string of text that Eudora recognizes as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator: http, ftp, gopher, ph, finger, etc.) is active. You can hold down the command key and click on a URL (or just double-click) to open a World Wide Web location, transfer a file, do a gopher search, use the finger tool, etc.

To setup Eudora to automatically open a new message when you use a mailto link within a Netscape Web browser, turn on the Intercept Netscape mailto URLs option in the Miscellaneous Options. (Be sure you are not running the Mailto Watcher application at the same time.)


Managing Your Mail on the POP Server

During a mail check, your incoming messages are normally transferred from your account on the POP server to your PC, and then deleted from the POP server. But this can be awkward if you want to read mail from two or more computers, and keep your mail organized at the same time.

There are several options that you can use to control your mail transfers and the storage on the server. Some of these options are available in the Checking Mail Options, and some are available in the Mail Transfer Options dialog.

Leaving Mail on the Server
Deleting a Message from the Server
Skipping Messages Over a Certain Size
Checking for Mail with Special Server Instructions


Leaving Mail on the Server

To transfer all of your new messages from the POP server to the PC you are on, and also leave copies of those messages on the server, turn on the Leave mail on server option in the Checking Mail Options. You can set the number of days the copies should be kept, or leave the field blank to store the copies indefinitely.

Note:	The Leave mail on server option can also be set for each additional personality you have. To do this, use the Personalities Options.

At the next mail check from that PC, Eudora ignores the copies of those previously read messages and looks for new ones. However, if you check mail from another computer, those messages are treated as new and are transferred to that computer.

Note:	The Leave mail on server option should be used with care, since it can result in a buildup of messages on the POP server.


Deleting a Message from the Server

To delete a message that has been left on the server (without retrieving it again), turn on the Trash icon in the message toolbar or set the message summarys server action to Delete, then check mail again. Or, use the Delete all messages that have been retrieved option in the Mail Transfer Options dialog (described in Checking for Mail with Special Server Instructions).


Skipping Messages Over a Certain Size

To stop Eudora from transferring incoming messages that are too large, turn on the Skip messages over ? K option in the Checking Mail Options, and specify a size. Only the first few lines of the messages that exceed that size are transferred, with a note at the bottom stating that the whole message has not been transferred.

If you decide you want to transfer the whole message, click on the Fetch icon in the incoming message window, or select the Fetch server action popup in the message summary, then check mail again. You can also use the Trash icon or the Fetch & Delete server action popup so that the message is deleted from the server after transferring it.

If you decide you dont want the message and want to delete it from the server, click on the Trash icon in the incoming message window, or select the Delete server action popup in the message summary, then check mail again.

Message Summaries in Mailboxes

Each line in a mailbox window represents a message and is called a message summary. Outgoing messages that are in any mailbox other than Out are shown with italicized message summaries.

To select one or more message summaries, use one of the following options:

To select one summary, click on it.

To select two summaries and all the summaries between them, select a summary, hold down the Shift key, and select another summary.

To make disjointed selections, hold down the Ctrl key and select summaries.

Each message summary is divided into columns: Status, Priority, Attachments, Label, Sender/Recipient, Date, Size, Server Action, and Subject. You can show or hide these columns using the Mailbox Columns Options.

A messages Status, Priority, Label, and Server Action can be changed directly in the mailbox window. To do this, select the messages you want to change and click the right mouse button. Select an option from the popup menu to make your change.


Displaying and Resizing Columns

To specify which columns you want to be displayed in your mailboxes, open the Mailbox Columns Options (from the Tools menu) and be sure the columns you want to see are on. You can also turn the separator lines on and off.

To resize a column in a mailbox window, move the mouse pointer until it is over the column header divider to the right of the column you want to resize, then press the mouse button, drag the divider to the position you want, and release the mouse button. The column divider moves to the new location, and the mailbox is redrawn.

You can only shrink a column as far as its left divider. If you do that, a double divider line is displayed in place of the column, and its contents are hidden. To redisplay the column, drag the right divider line to the right.


Using the Mailbox Size Display

In the lower left corner of each mailbox window, three numbers show the size information for that mailbox. The first is the number of messages in the mailbox; the second is the total amount of space those messages require; the third is the amount of disk space that is wasted with the mailbox.

Wasted space is created when messages are deleted from a mailbox. This wasted space is automatically removed when the amount of wasted space in the mailbox is greater than the amount of space the messages in the mailbox use, or if the amount of space wasted in the mailbox is greater than 5% of the free space on the volume that contains it.

To manually clean up the wasted space in a mailbox, click on the mailboxs size display. Or, to clean up all your mailboxes, select Compact Mailboxes from the Special menu.


Creating a Mailbox or Folder Using the Mailbox Menu

To create a new mailbox or mail folder, select New... from the Mailbox menu. The New mailbox dialog is displayed.

You can create a new mailbox or mail folder inside a mail folder by selecting the New… command under a folder.

To create a mailbox, type in the new mailbox name and click OK. The mailbox is created and added to the Mailbox and Transfer menus.

To create a mail folder, type the name of the new mail folder and check the Make it a Folder option. Click OK to create the folder. The new mailbox dialog is displayed again. Type the name of a mailbox to create within the new folder, then click OK. The new folder and its mailbox are displayed in the Mailbox and Transfer menus.


Deleting a Message

As a safeguard against inadvertent deletions, two steps are used to delete a message from your PC: first you put the message in the Trash, then you empty the Trash.

To put a message in the Trash, select the message then select Delete from the Message menu, or select Trash from the Transfer menu, or press the delete key. The message is transferred to the Trash mailbox.

To delete the messages in the Trash mailbox (removing them permanently from your PC), select Empty Trash from the Special menu.

To delete a message permanently without sending it to the Trash first, select the message, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys, and select Delete from the Message menu (or use any of the deleting options).

You can set up Eudora to warn you if you try to delete unread, queued, or unsent messages. To do this, use the Extra Warnings Options to turn on those options.

Quitting Eudora empties the contents of the Trash mailbox when the Empty Trash when exiting option in the Miscellaneous Options is turned on. Finally, if you want to delete just a few messages from the Trash mailbox, select them, then select Delete from the Message menu or press delete. Deleting a message from the Trash removes it completely.


Automatically Deleting Attachments

When you delete messages, you can have their attachments automatically deleted.

To delete any attachments of messages that are emptied from the Trash, turn on the Delete attachments when emptying Trash option in the Attachments Options, and be sure the attachments are still in the Attach Directory (or the directory you have specified for attachments).

To delete any automatically generated messages attachments (such as with the Insert System Configuration command), turn on one of the Delete automatic attachments options in the Attachments Options.

If you have this option on, and want to delete a message but save its attachment, move the attachment into another folder before deleting the message.


Transferring Messages

You can transfer messages to any of your mailboxes. There are several ways to do this:

Using the Transfer menu
Dragging Messages

To put a copy of a message in another mailbox (instead of transferring the message), hold down the Shift key and use one of the transfer options above. This is useful if you want to file a message in more than one mailbox.

If you try to transfer a message to the Out mailbox, an alert is displayed informing you that some header information may be removed from the message during transfer. Click Yes to transfer the message.

Note:	You can undo mailbox transfers using the Undo command under the Edit menu.


Using the Transfer menu

The Transfer menu is one way to transfer messages among your mailboxes. With a current message open, or message summaries selected, select a mailbox from the Transfer menu. The messages are transferred from their previous mailbox to the mailbox you selected.


Dragging Messages

You can drag messages from one mailbox to another using the message summaries or the Tow Truck icon in an open window.

To drag a message summary to another mailbox, select the message summary (or summaries), place the cursor over the summary, and hold down the mouse button. Drag the summary into any open or minimized mailbox window, or (if you are using the 32-bit version)any mailbox in the Mailboxes window, or any toolbar mailbox button you have created (see Customizing the Toolbar). When you release the mouse button, the message is transferred.

To drag an open message to another mailbox, hold down the mouse over Tow Truck icon and drag the message into any open mailbox, any mailbox in the Mailboxes window, or any toolbar mailbox button you have created. When you release the mouse button, the message is transferred.


Creating a Mailbox or Folder During Transfer

To create a mailbox and transfer the current message into it at the same time, select New... from the Transfer menu instead of the name of a mailbox. The New Mailbox dialog is displayed. Enter the name of the mailbox or mail folder (be sure to check the Make it a folder option if you want a folder), and click OK. The current message is transferred into the new mailbox.

To create the new mailbox without transferring the message into it, check the Dont transfer, just create mailbox option.


Filtering Messages

Many of the e-mail management functions in Eudora Pro can be done automatically using filters. For example, you can automatically reply to a request for information, transfer all the messages from your children into a Personal mailbox, and label all the messages from your customers as Hot.

To open the Filters window, select Filters from the Tools menu. The Filters window is displayed, and any filters you have created are listed on the left.

To create or modify a filter, first click on the New button or select an existing filter.

Second, select the options for how you want the filter to be used: as an automatic filter to be invoked on any Incoming and/or Outgoing mail, and as a Manual filter that can be invoked when you select Filter Messages from the Special menu. Any combination of these options works.

Third, define the criteria for the filter: use the header item popups and the text fields to specify which header items should include a particular string of text. Use the conjunction popup to define two related terms for the criteria so that your filter is as specific as possible.

Header
Match Type
Matching Text
Conjunction

Fourth, Define the action to be taken on messages that fit the criteria and save the filters.

Filter Actions

Note:	Filters are automatically named based on the criteria for the filter. You can re-order them using the Up and Down buttons above the list.

When the filters are invoked (automatically or manually), each message is matched against each filter in order from top to bottom. If the message meets a filters criteria, the actions are done as specified until there are no more actions, then the message is matched against the next filter. If at any point a Skip rest action is done, nothing else is done with that message, and the next message is filtered.

When an incoming message with a precedence header of list or bulk is filtered, no new outgoing messages are not created. This prevents automatic messages from being sent to mailing lists, people who have a vacation response set, etc.

You can change the width of the filters list to create more or less space for your list. To do this, put the arrow over the bar to the right of the list and drag the line to the left or right.


Sorting Messages Within Mailboxes

The message summaries in mailboxes are automatically sorted by date, in ascending order (the newest messages at the bottom of the mailbox).

To change the sort, select the appropriate command from the Sort submenu from the Edit menu. Or, click on any of the column headings to sort by that column. To sort in descending order, hold down the Shift key and select a sort command.

Each sort is based on the previous state of the mailbox. For example, if a mailbox is sorted by date, and then you sort by sender, the messages are grouped by sender and each group is in order by date.

Note:	Sometimes sorting by Date can be incorrect. This usually happens if the messages have incorrectly formatted date fields, or unknown or incorrect time zones.


Finding Text Within One Message

To search for text within a single message, open the message and make sure it is current.  Then, select Find from the Edit menu and select the Find command from the submenu.  The Find dialog is displayed, with the blinking insertion point located in the text field.

Type the text you want to find in the text field.  When finished entering the desired text, click the Find button.

Starting at where the cursor is in the message, Eudora searches the current message for the specified text.  If no match is found, the not found alert is displayed.

If the search is successful, the message is scrolled to the first point where the match is found and the matching text is highlighted.

To continue searching in the same message for the next occurrence of the text, click the Find button in the Find dialog, or select the Find Again command from the Find submenu.  These commands are equivalent and limit the search to the same message.  Repeating these commands cycles through the matches in the open message only.

Match Case
Summaries Only


Finding Text Among Multiple Messages and Mailboxes

To continue to search for text in the messages following the current message, and within the same mailbox, click on the Next button.

To continue to search for text in the messages following the current message, and to go to the next mailbox if necessary, Next Message button.

To continue to search for text in the messages in the next mailbox, click on the Next Mailbox button.

Note:	Mailboxes are searched in the same order as they appear in the Mailbox menu.


Enter Selection Command

If you dont want to actually type the text in the Find dialog (for example, the text is very long or complex), highlight it in an existing message, and then select Enter Selection from the Find submenu.  This automatically inserts the selected text at the insertion point in the Find dialog.  Then, select the Find command from the Find submenu to start the search.


Stopping a Find

If you want to stop Eudora from continuing a search, click the Stop button on the progress window or press the Esc key.


Saving a Message to a File

You can save a message to a separate text file on your PC.

To do this, open or select the messages you want to save to text. Then, select Save As... from the File menu. The Save As dialog is displayed allowing you to choose a name and location for the file.

Be sure the Type is Text Files, enter the name you want to give the text file, and select the appropriate options.

Guess Paragraphs removes extraneous carriage returns from the message, leaving returns only at the ends of paragraphs, and converts multiple spaces into tabs.

Include Headers retains the first messages header information in the saved document. If this is not checked, only the body of the messages is saved.

Stationery saves the message as a stationery file. This option may not be available (depending on the message you are saving). For details, see Using Stationery.

Once youve made all of your choices, click on the Save button in the dialog.

Note:	If an unread () message is saved to a file, its status changes to read, regardless of whether the message was opened.

If you select multiple messages from a mailbox window and select Save As..., all of the messages are saved to a single file with only the header from the first listed message.


Using the Address Book

The Address Book is where you keep information about individuals or groups that you correspond with. Each entry in the Address Book includes a nickname for a person or group, their full e-mail addresses, a real name, any contact information, and any notes. You can also use the Address Book to put nicknames on the Quick Recipient List, and to address a new message.

To open your Address Book, select Address Book from the Tools menu.

All of the Address Book entries are kept in files. Eudora Nicknames is the default file, but you can use additional files to organize your entries.

You can use the View By option to display the entries using any of the fields except the Notes field. For example, if you want to view the entries by nicknames, select View By Nicknames. If you view by a field that doesnt contain any data, the entry is displayed with «».

You can also start typing in the list of entries and the appropriate entry will be selected when you enter enough unique characters to identify it.

To page up and down in the list of entries, use the arrow keys. To resize the list, drag the divider.

Creating New Entries

To create a new file of Address Book entries, click New. A dialog is displayed asking what you want to call it.

Enter a name for the file and select Make it a file, then click OK to create it. The file is displayed in the list, and you can now add entries to the file.

To create a new entry to be included in an existing file, click on New. A dialog is displayed asking what you want to call it. Enter a Nickname for the entry. A Nickname (sometimes called an alias) is an easily remembered, shorter substitute for the e-mail addresses in the entry. Nicknames can be used in place of proper e-mail addresses in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields of outgoing messages.

Specify which file this entry belongs in (if you have multiple files), and select the Put it on the recipient list option if you want the nickname on your list. You cannot create a file within a file, so do not use the Make it a file option. Click OK to create the entry. Then you can enter the information for that entry.

In the Address(es) field, enter the complete e-mail addresses of the people (or person) to be included in the nickname, separating the addresses with commas or returns (this is the only place you can use a return to separate addresses). You can also use nicknames in this field, but be sure that any nicknames you use are defined in their own entry. You can use a mix of nicknames and complete e-mail addresses.

Note:	Be sure there is no other information in this field except addresses or nicknames, or your messages will be addressed incorrectly.

In the Name field (in the Notes tab),  enter the real name of the person or group. If there is just one address for the entry, the real name and the address is included in the To field for your recipient to see. If there is more than one address for the entry, the real name is the only thing included in the To field for your recipientsthey do not see the whole list of recipients.

In the other fields provided in the Info and Notes tabs (Phone, Fax, Postal Address, and Notes),  you can enter contact information for the person or group, and any notes to yourself. This information is not included in outgoing messages.

To save your changes to the Address Book, select Save from the File menu.


Changing and Removing Entries

To make changes to an Address Book entry, select the entry from the list and edit the fields as appropriate.

Important:  If you change a nickname, but sure to correct any entries that reference that nickname.

To remove an entry or an address file, select it from the list and click on the Remove button or the Delete key. You cannot remove the Eudora Nicknames file.

To save your changes, select Save from the File menu.


Including Nicknames on the Quick Recipient List

To include a nickname in the Quick Recipient List, select the appropriate Address Book entry from the list and click on the Recipient List option (next to the Nickname field).

The nickname for the selected entry is included on the Quick Recipient List. If you change a nickname or remove an entry, the Quick Recipient List is updated as appropriate. For details about using the Quick Recipient List, see the section Using the Quick Recipient List.

Note:	You can add or remove mulitple nicknames to or from the Quick Recpient List by selecting multiple entries. Hold down the Shift key to select multiple entries in sequence, or the Ctrl key to make disjoint selections.

To save your changes, select Save from the File menu.


Addressing a Message from the Address Book

You can open and address a new message from the Address Book using the To, Cc, and Bcc buttons, or by dragging one or more entries to an open message.

To create a new message from the Address Book, select the entry to which you want to address the mail (hold down the Shift key to select multiple entries in sequence, or the Ctrl key to make disjoint selections). Then click on To, Cc, or Bcc. A new composition window is displayed with the selected nickname(s) inserted in the appropriate field.

Note:	You can also double-click on one entry to enter that nickname in the To field, or double-click on one of many selected entries to enter those nicknames in the To field).

To address the message with the addresses from the Address(es) field (instead of the nickname), turn on the Expand Nicknames option.

Once the composition window is displayed, you can use the To, Cc, and Bcc buttons to insert additional nicknames into the corresponding fields. Or, you can drag the appropriate entries to those fields.


The "Make Address Book Entry" Command

The Make Address Book entry command is used to create entries in your Address Book, and is especially helpful for making group entries. You can use this command from almost anywhere in Eudora.

In the Address Book, highlight several different entries (hold down the Shift key to select multiple entries in sequence, or the Ctrl key to make disjoint selections), then select Make Address Book Entry... from the Special menu. The New Nickname dialog is displayed prompting you for the nickname of the new entry. The Address(es) field of the new entry will include the nicknames for the entries you selected, not the real addresses.

In a mailbox, highlight the message(s) you want and select Make Address Book Entry... from the Special menu. The New Nickname dialog is displayed prompting you for the nickname of the new entry. Follow the instructions for creating a new entry.

If the current message is an outgoing message, the new entry will include all of the addresses in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields. If the current message is an incoming message, the new entry will include the address in the From field. If multiple messages are current (i.e., you have several message summaries selected in a mailbox window), addresses are taken from each message and are all put in the new entry.

Note:	If the Include yourself option is on in the Replying Options, your address is included in the new entry.

In the Directory Services window, finish a Ph query and select Make Address Book Entry... from the Special menu. The New Nickname dialog is displayed so that you can name the nickname. The real name and e-mail address are included in the new entry.


The "Finish Address Book Entry" Command

With the Finish Address Book Entry command, you can enter a unique portion of a nickname in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields of a message, then select Finish Address Book Entry from the Edit menu, and the nickname will be completed for you. You must enter the characters in the nickname that make it unique, or Eudora will not know which nickname to use. For example, if you have two nicknames, jon and john, you would have to enter jon or joh for Eudora to complete them.

To insert the real addresses for the entry, instead of the nickname, hold down the Shift key and select Finish Address Book Entry from the Edit menu. To set this to happen all the time, turn on the Automatically expand nicknames option in the Miscellaneous Options.


Using Nicknames that were Not Created by Eudora

To use a nickname file that was not created in Eudora, put the file in the Nickname directory (in your Eudora directory), and be sure the format is as follows: One nickname on each line with the real addresses separated by commas, and one line for notes and info with the Notes text following the Info data. For example:

alias Wow joe@wow.com,lisa@wow.com,chris@wow.com

note Wow <fax: 222.2223><phone: 222.2222><address:1234 Street>
<name:Wow Inc.>My favorite company

You will need to exit and re-open Eudora to see your new entries in the Address Book.


Using the Quick Recipient List

The Quick Recipient List is your list of often-used nicknames. If you have checked the Recipient List option in an Address Book entry, the entrys nickname is included in the list.

To open a new message addressed to someone on your Quick Recipient List, select New Message To, Forward To, or Redirect To from the Message menu, and select the nickname from the displayed list.

To insert a nickname into a message that you have already opened, put the cursor where you want the nickname and select Insert Recipient from the Edit menu.

To insert the real address(es), instead of the nickname, hold down the Shift key and select Insert Recipient from the Edit menu. To set this to happen all the time, turn on the Automatically expand nicknames option in the Miscellaneous Options.

More than one nickname from the Quick Recipient List can be added to the To, Cc, and Bcc fields of any message. If you use the Insert Recipient command, commas are added where necessary.


Opening Directory Services

Eudora can access two different directory services, Ph and Finger. To use these services, you must put the name of the host machines for the Ph and finger servers in theHosts Options.

To use the directory services, select Directory Services from the Tools menu.

Using Ph
Finding Ph Servers
Using Finger
Addressing a Message from the Address Book


Using Ph

To look someone up using Ph, enter your command and click on Ph. The command is sent to your Ph server, and the response is displayed in the lower section of the window.

To add the results of your Ph command to your Address Book, specify which of the results you want to include in the Address Book, then select Make Address Book Entry… from the Special menu (for details on how to use this command, see The Make Address Book Entry Command). This may not work if your Ph server is not set up for it.

Note:	You can type any Ph command in the query field, except login commands or commands requiring login. For information about the Ph server source code, see Appendix A.


Finding Ph Servers

Some Ph servers keep a list of other Ph servers that are available on the Internet. This is not always a comprehensive list of every Ph server out there, but it can be helpful.

To get the list of servers that the active server knows about, click on the Server button. A list of servers is displayed in the results area. To go to one of those servers and do a query, double-click on the servers URL.


Using Finger

To use the Finger protocol, enter your command and click Finger. The command should be in the form name@domain. If you omit the @domain segment, the active server is used. The finger command is sent to the finger server, and the response is displayed in the lower section of the window.


Addressing a Message from the Directory Services Window

You can create and address a message with the command results in the Directory Services window.

To create a new message, be sure there are no outgoing messages already open, do the Ph or Finger command, and put the cursor on the addresses you want (if you dont do this, all of the found addresses are used). Then click on the To, Cc, or Bcc button. A new message is created, and addressed appropriately with the query results.

To add an address to an existing message, make sure the message you want to address is active, open the Directory Services window, do the Ph or Finger command, put the cursor on the addresses you want. Then click on the To, Cc, or Bcc button. The address from the query result is added to the appropriate field of the current message.

To keep the Directory Services window on top so that you can easily continue using it, turn on the Keep on Top option at the bottom of the window.


Printing

You can print the current message or messages, a plain text window, selected text within a message or text window, the contents of the Directory Services window, and your filters. Eudora automatically prints headers and footers on each page, giving the window title, page number, and your return address.

To print the current message or item, select Print... from the File menu.


Plugins (Extended Messaging Services)

Plugins are special add-ons that can be installed to add features to Eudora. For example, you could use a language conversion plugin to translate a message to another language, a security plugin to automatically secure a message, or a compression plugin to compress a message and its attachments. Plugins interface to Eudora using the Extended Messaging Services Application Programming Interface (EMSAPI).

To make plugins available to Eudora, put them in the Plugins directory in your Eudora Pro directory, then restart Eudora. Some will show up in the Message Plugins submenu in the Edit menu, others will show up as icons in message windows.

To see all of the currently installed plugins, select Message Plugins Settings from the Special menu. If a plugin has any settings options, you can use the Settings button to change them.

For information about available plugins, send e-mail to <quest-rep@eudora.com> or visit the World Wide Web site <http://www.eudora.com/>.


The Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI)

MAPI is an interface that lets you send e-mail messages from any MAPI-compatible application, such as your word processor, spreadsheet, graphics application, etc.

MAPI-compatible applications have a Send or Send Mail option in the File menu. When you select the option, the Eudora MAPI server displays a new outgoing message with your current document attached. All you need to do is address the message, type any details you want to include in the body of the message, and click Send or Queue.

To run the Eudora MAPI server, use the MAPI Options dialog. To display the MAPI Options dialog, select Options... from the Tools menu and click on the MAPI category (see the Options Dialog, MAPI section).

You have several options in the MAPI Options dialog for loading the Eudora MAPI server. You can set it to always run or to run only when Eudora is running, or you can specify that it never run. These three options open or exit the server as soon as you select them.

Note:	When you are running the Eudora MAPI server, Microsoft Exchange will not work. If you need to use Exchange, turn off the Eudora server.

See Appendix F for technical details on the Eudora MAPI server.

You also have several options for saving or deleting MAPI attachments. When you use MAPI to attach a file and send a message, that file is immediately copied into the Attach directory (or a directory you have specified). You can use the MAPI options to save those copies, delete them after sending their corresponding messages, or delete them after their messages are emptied from the trash.

Please send any suggestions or requests for new features to <eudora-suggest@qualcomm.com>.

You will receive an automated response indicating that your suggestion has been received and forwarded to our engineering staff. Unless additional information is needed, you will not receive a direct response.


EUDORA.INI Settings File

The EUDORA.INI file is where Eudora keeps most of the settings.  It is a standard Windows INI file, and may be edited with any text editor.

Note:	Since Windows caches information from INI files in memory while the program is running, you should never change the EUDORA.INI file while Eudora is in use.  If you need to make a change, first quit Eudora, then edit the file, and then restart Eudora.

The EUDORA.INI file is broken up into 5 sections:

[Settings]
[Dialup]
[Window Positions]
[Debug]
[Mappings]

Only the items that are not configurable from the Options dialog are listed here.

Name and Location of the INI File

The default name is EUDORA.INI and the default location is in the mail directory.  But the name and location can be changed.

To specify a different INI file from the EUDORA.INI that is not in the mail directory, add a second parameter to the command line in the Program Item for Eudora, e.g.

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail c:\inis\myeudora.ini

To use a different INI file that is in the mail directory:

Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail myeudora.ini
Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe c:\mymail\myeudora.ini

This is a way to have multiple settings for one set of mailboxes, nicknames, etc.  For example, you may have multiple e-mail accounts in which you receive mail, but want to collect mail from all of the accounts in one place.  You could set up separate Program Items for each account (each having a different INI file on the command line), and switching between accounts would be as simple as double-clicking on a Program Item.

And for an even more tricky specification, if the first parameter is an INI filename without a path, then the mail directory is searched through the normal process of checking the EUDORA environment variable and then using the executable directory.

Examples:

SET EUDORA=c:\mymail
Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe myeudora.ini

will use c:\mymail as the mail directory and c:\mymail\myeudora.ini as the INI file.

SET EUDORA=myeudora.ini
Command Line: c:\apps\eudora.exe

will use c:\apps as the mail directory and c:\apps\myeudora.ini as the INI file.

Default INI file

When an entry in the EUDORA.INI file is not found, Eudora will look in the DEUDORA.INI file located in the same directory as the EUDORA.EXE file. The [Mappings] section of the DEUDORA.INI file acts as though it was appended to the end of the [Mappings] section of the EUDORA.INI file.

[Mappings]

This is a sample [Mappings] section.  It is NOT a default for Eudora if you have a missing/empty [Mappings] section.  The [Mappings] section contains information for mapping between PC file extensions, Mac creator and type, and MIME type and subtype for attachment files (in that order).  Entries marked as "in" work only on incoming messages and entries marked as "out" work only on outgoing messages.  Entries marked "both" work on both incoming and outgoing messages.

If you do not change your  clocks during Daylight Savings Time,  leave yyy blank.  Here's some  samples: TimeZone=PST8PDT TimeZone=MET-1 If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header.  The moral is: if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone.
TraceWindowMask	31	Log level of information that gets  sent to the Trace window (see the  [Debug] section).

URLHelper		Full path of application used to  launch URLs.
URLHighlight	1	Display URLs in blue underline style.
UsePOPSend	0	If UsePOPSend is on, Eudora will  send mail using the POP3 extended command XTND XMIT.  Since this is  an optional command for POP3,  many POP3 servers do not support  this command (Berkeley's popper,  however, does).  There are pros and  cons to using POP3 to send your  mail.  It provides a level of security  since it requires a username/ password pair to send mail  messages, unlike SMTP.  It is faster  than SMTP, especially when  checking for new mail at the same  time.  It doesn't check for valid  recipients until the entire message is  sent, and some implementations  (Berkeley's popper, for example)  won't tell you which recipients are  invalid and will send the message to  the valid recipients anyway.
UserChangeLex	uchange.tlx	Filename of user-defined list of  words to change when spell  checking.
UserIgnoreLex	uignore.tlx	Filename of user-defined list of  words to ignore when spell checking.

Dialup username (Dialup Options)
Dialup username:

Specifies your dialup user name.

Enter your dialup user name if it is different from your POP account. This is necessary if you are using Eudora directly through a modem without the benefit of TCP/IP software, and you have a secondary user name for use during the dialup process (this might be used as your login name to a terminal server, for example). See Appendix E of your user manual for details regarding how this field can be used.


Phone number (Dialup Options)
Phone number:

Specifies the telephone number for your terminal server.

Enter the number, and be sure to include any necessary prefixes to get an outside line, turn off call-waiting, etc.


Modem (Dialup Options)
Modem:

Specifies your modem type.

Select your modem from the popup or, if your modem is not listed among those available, select *Default:Hayes (unreliable transfers).

While the default modem functions in many cases, you may experience data corruption when sending or receiving messages. To configure Eudora for a reliable connection using the default modem, you must modify the SERIAL.MOD dialup file, as described in Appendix E of the user manual.


Baud rate (Dialup Options)
Baud rate:

Specifies your baud rate.

Select the value that corresponds with your modem speed.


COM port (Dialup Options)
COM port:

Flow Control:

Specifies the modem flow control.

Flow control is the ability of the modem and PC to stop the data flow before the internal buffers fill up and overflow. The modem may use either hardware or software flow control (software flow control is typically the modem default setting), but hardware is preferred and strongly recommended at baud rates above 9600. If your modem does not support hardware flow control, then you must use software flow control. Software flow control, however, does not work well at speeds above 9600 baud.


Data bits (Dialup Options)

Specifies the number of seconds before a dialup connection will time out. The default is 60.

Change the number of seconds if you want more time before the connection will time out.


CRLF Processing

If this is checked, Eudoras cr/lf processing is on.

Telnet programs routinely translate carriage returns into carriage return (cr)/ linefeed (lf) pairs. For this reason, Eudora processes cr/lf pairs to plain carriage returns by default. If your terminal server does not translate carriage returns to cr/lf pairs, or you are running srialpop to establish an echoless session (as described in Appendix E of the user manual), Eudora's cr/lf processing must be disabled. This can be done by turning this option off.


Show trace window (Dialup Options)
Show trace window

If this is checked, the Trace Window is opened automatically at the beginning of the dialup session.

The Trace Window follows what Eudora is sending, expecting, and the characters returned to Eudora. The Trace Window is a valuable troubleshooting tool because when there is an error during the dialup process, the window displays the source of the error.

Using the Mailboxes Window

The Mailboxes window lets you create new mailboxes and folders, remove and rename them, and move mailboxes among folders. To accomplish any of these tasks, select Mailboxes from the Tools menu. The Mailboxes window is displayed.

The Mailboxes window has two identical lists of mailboxes and folders, each entitled Eudora Folder (or the name of the folder holding your mail). These list the names of the mailboxes and folders you have created (folders are identified by an arrow to the right of the name). Each list is similar to that displayed under the Mailbox and Transfer menus, except that the In, Out, and Trash mailboxes arent included.

If the Mailbox window isnt big enough to display all of your created mailboxes and folders, use the scroll bar on the right side of either list to view the rest of the mailboxes and folders.

Note:	Double-clicking on any of the mailboxes in a list opens that mailbox. Messages can be selected, opened, and otherwise manipulated from there.

To open a folder and display its contents in the list, double-click the folder.

To change the folder being displayed in the list, select another folder from the title popup.
