Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / September 2006Wrong messages when I open Eudora
I have my PowerBook G-4 set up so that it opens Eudora automatically when I start the computer. But the In-Box I get on my screen includes dozens of messages that I killed or answered days earlier. To get the current In-Box, I need to go to the Documents window, then to the Eudora Folder, and then I must double click on Eudora settings. How can I avoid this hassle? Stephen G.

Esrati Sounds like you've got more than one set of Eudora Settings files, and that you're starting it up at login time by opening a settings file rather than simply opening the Eudora application itself. If you were freshly installing Eudora for the first time, it would create a "Eudora Folder" inside your Documents folder. If you subsequently start Eudora.app, this is where it looks automatically for its settings -- including the In box. That's how you should be starting it up now. = Steve =  SignatureSteve W. Jackson Montgomery, Alabama > How can I avoid this hassle? Simple - as you have more than one Mail folder, obviously, on your system - just use the Settings file as your startup one for Eudora. That's what I do. Not sure if you can actually put that in the startup items, but it's much easier to have it somewhere easily accessible and click it as soon as you've booted up rather than the hassle you are going through right now.

In that case maybe you are starting from the wrong Settings file, or the wrong Eudora Folder? Either can live anywhere on the HD (and elsewhere) and maybe you have a forgotten one that was created when you started Eudora by clicking on the application icon?

That has to be the correct answer for it. He needs to do a search from the desktop on his entire hard drive for Eudora Settings and see how many of them he has on his system. Then by clicking them in turn *without Eudora open*, he can find which is the one that is right and use that one in the startup folder. He can then safely trash the Mail Folder of the other ones(s) - as long as he knows what he is doing tracing the Settings Files back to their respective folders and doesn't zap the wrong one - so they don't come back. Rifty SignatureAcademic and Computing Help http://rifty.net You led to the fix. I searched my hard drive for all the Eudora settings and finally I am able to get the current In-box on restart. Thanks to you and Rifty. >>I thought you had solved my problem and I was able to sign up Eudora >>settings for my startup. But I stilll got that pile of garbage.
