I am using Eudora 6.1 with Mac OS 9.2.2. I have forgotten how to apply
two or more incoming address to a mail box. I have several people who
sent me email from 2 or more addresses and I need to assign multiple
addresses to one mail box. Anyone recall how to do that?

If you are talking about using filters to move messages to particular
mailboxes, there are a couple of ways to do it. You can make a new
filter for each address, or you can set up a filter "Header: From"
contains Address A or "Header: From" contains Address B, Action
"Transfer to" mailbox.

Lets walk through it very slowly. An email comes in and it is received
in the Eudora¹s ³IN² mailbox. Open the email. Go to ³Special² to
³Make Filter² and label it with the nickname you want. Close. The
incoming email is still open. Close it. It is highlighted in the in
box. Go to transfer and transfer it to the email box you just created.
The next day another email comes from the same person but from his
second email address. This email lands in the Eudora ³IN² box and I
want it routed to the same mail box I set up yesterday even though it
has a different address it is the same sender. I think I should be
able to open the ³Filter or Mailbox, whatever it is called² and place a
coma behind the first address assigned to the mailbox and add the
second address. I do not know what headers are or how to get to them.

Headers in an e-mail message are the "From", "To", "Subject", "Cc",
"BCC", etc. fields. When you create a filter, you can select a header
for a filtering rule. There is a pop-up menu labeled "Header:" to let
you specify which header you want to use in the filter rule.

On the second day, do just what you did on the first day. You have now
created a second filter that will send the mail from the second address
to the same mailbox.

Alternatively, in my version of Eudora, v6.2.3, filters may have two
rules. If yours is the same, open your "Filters" window and select your
first filter. Change the "ignore" menu selection in the middle of the
"Match" area to "or", select "From:" for the second "Header:" menu
item, and type your friend's second e-mail address in the "contains"
box (make "contains" into "is" if you are sure about the address).

Good luck!
