Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / July 2006

I was playing around and configured the SMTP server used by my dominant
personality to require AUTH for SMTP.  Then I decided I didn't want to
do that, so I turned it back off.  But now Eudora "remembers" that
server requires authorization.  Every time I send mail, Eudora puts up a
dialog telling me the server requires authorization, and I have it
turned off, and the send will probably fail.  It gives me 3 choices, try
anyway without auth, allow auth, or cancel.  If I try anyway, it works
just fine without auth.  But I'm tired of the stinking dialog every time.

I've looked at the Eudora logs, and it looks like it puts up the dialog
before contacting the server.  So the server isn't really telling Eudora
it requires auth.  Eudora just remembers that it required it once.

I've tried changing to a different server that doesn't use auth.  Eudora
still puts up the dialog, and then works with the "try anyway" option.  
So the dialog doesn't seem to be triggered by the server.  Changing
servers doesn't help; Eudora still remembers that the server used by
that personality requires auth, even when it's a server it's never used
before.

Aside from trashing my settings and rebuilding everything, does anybody
know how to make Eudora "forget" that the server required auth once, and
stop warning me every freakin time it sends mail?
