First Launch (Skip this if you've already launched the software)
The first time you launch the software, it will ask you to locate your Eudora Folder. The folder referred to is usually NOT the folder in which your Eudora application resides. Rather, it is the folder in which Eudora stores its “Eudora Settings” file, as well as where it maintains a folder named “Mail Folder” in which it places all your incoming and outgoing mail. It is often named “Eudora Folder” and often is found in your System Folder but it doesn’t need to be. If you have an alias to it in your System Folder (or elsewhere) you only need select the alias. If you maintain multiple Eudora Folders, you will be able to add them to a menu within Email Magician.
THE EASIEST WAY TO LEARN EMAIL MAGICIAN is to read the Help screens that will appear at the first launch. After this (on the first launch) you will be presented with the Email Magician Setup Assistant. You are strongly urged to use this Setup Assistant the first time you run Email Magician. Besides configuring the main areas of the program, the Setup Assistant has been designed to teach you about Email Magician while you use it: you will learn all about the program's operation while you are configuring it. In the future, you can access the Setup Assistant from the Help menu to the far right of Email Magician's menus.
Registration (Skip this if you've already registered)
This is how you get a registration code. Once you have paid Kagi for Email Magician, either online at http://order.kagi.com/?4P&S or via the "Register" application included with Email Magician, send YAV the "Challenge Phrase" you will find in the Registration dialog box (there are menu items and buttons all over the program to take you there). It will speed things up if you include your Challenge Phrase as a comment when you register (see the instructions in the Registration dialog box or in the document "Registering YAV Software").
THE EASIEST WAY TO DO OBTAIN YOUR REGISTRATION CODE is to press the "TURBO" button in the Register Window! (or select the "Turbo Registration" menu option. This will automatically create an email with your Challenge Phrase in Eudora.
You will be receive a registration code usually within 24 hours. Once you enter the registration code in the Registration Window, your copy of the program will be unlocked.
THE EASIEST WAY TO ENTER YOUR CODE IN THE REGISTRATION WINDOW is to copy the entire registration email in Eudora. If you select "Register" or "Turbo Registration" in Email Magician, while your registration information on the clipboard (as supplied in the email you receive from YAV), Email Magician will automatically register itself! No typing will be necessary.

Disclaimer
This software is distributed "as is." Like any tool, it can be either used or misused. Neither Christopher Yavelow or YAV Interactive Media will assume responsibility for any problems it might cause for you. While every possible effort has been to assure that this software is free of "bugs," it is always a good idea to back up your important data files before using any new software, at least until you are sure it is doing exactly what it is intended to do. You may be assured that the Email Magician's developer has been using the program continually without incident. There have been many beta-testers as well. However, due to the number of Macintosh models and operating systems currently available, it is impossible to test a product like this with every combination of computers and operating systems. If you have a problem with Email Magician and your particular Macintosh configuration, please report it to YAV at emailmagician@yav.com, describing your computer, operating system, version of Eudora, nature of the problem, and any other information you feel could be pertinent. We will do everything we can to provide a solution.
