Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / March 2006Can't find latest settings
Since a huge crash, my Eudora asks me each time whether I want to import settings and does not open my most recent settings. If I do it manually, I have to go throuogh many messages I have already read. What do I need to do? > Since a huge crash, my Eudora asks me each time whether I want to import > settings and does not open my most recent settings.

My first thought would be not to start Eudora from the application, but by clicking on your preferred settings file, or an alias to it. Are you using IMAP? It sounds a bit like it. Otherwise, try compacting the mailboxes. Click on the mailbox size in any mailbox's list window with the Opt key held down. This might sort the problem with read messages coming up 'unread' next time...

Well I'd say, make an alias to it and just start Eudora from that. That's what I do, every time, and have done for years. Starting from the application is quite unnecessary.

Starting from the > application is quite unnecessary. FWIW, I never launch Eudora by opening its Settings file. IMO, if it is necessary then something is wrong. The only reason to launch Eudora that way should be when you consciously want to switch between different Settings files.

Which is why I do it; I use Eudora in Light mode and get Personalities via multiple settings files.

And that's always been the best way to do it - the most elegant, simplest, private and most clearly defined way to allow two or more people access to Eudora with their own settings on the one machine. An alias to the relevant settings file to open Eudora and you don't have any problems.

For me there's an additional use which is that I need to mail from two places (London and Geneva) via two different ISPs; although I always use the same POP3 server, I have different smtp servers and a reply-to header in the mails that go via the 'other' ISP. A separate settings file handles all that automagically. SignaturePeter |
