Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / February 2007Remembering Passwords
I'm using Eudora paid on my Macs. I cannot recall how to tell Eudora to remember a password. Have set up a new .mac alias account, and Eudora is prompting me every 10 minutes (my default time for checking for mail) for the password. None of my other three accounts ask that question.

You want to do this only if your Macintosh is in a secure location, where there is no possible chance of someone else having access to it. To save your password 1. From the Special menu, choose Settings. 2. Scroll the Settings category list and choose Checking Mail. The Checking Mail settings dialog appears. 3. Check the Save Password box and click OK. THIS IS WRONG. IT'S CHECKED, BUT STILL DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS PERSONALITY. I dunno, have you quit eudora and restarted it by chance? When weird eudora things happen, quiting and re-opening often works for me. THIS IS WRONG. IT'S CHECKED, BUT STILL DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS PERSONALITY.

When Eudora asks for passwords for additional personalities (or even for "Dominant" if others exist), does that pop-up have its own "remember password" check box? [As suggested by illustration on bottom of page 69] Of course, it is also claimed that "As long as Eudora is running, it remembers all of your passwords" (so it should not repeatedly ask within the same session) -[ ]- > On Thu, 15 Feb 2007 11:50:33 -0600: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -[ ]- It's not doing either of those. Throughout the session, like clockwork, the icon bounces and I get asked for the password. Eudora is really screwed up. I just restarted this machine, and that's the first thing that happened once Eudora got launched. I'm going to have to simply delete the new address.

What OS are you using? If you're on OS 8x or 9x, quit Eudora, rebuild your desktop, give Eudora more memory, and restart Eudora. If you're on OS X, try toggling the checkbox to remember password. If that still doesn't help, you may need to rebuild your Settings file. You can rebuild the Settings by holding down all the modifier keys (command-option-shift-control) while you select Settings from the Special menu. This will retain your server info, but most of your other customizations will be lost. Before rebuilding the Settings, put a copy somewhere outside the Eudora Folder so you can easily get it back if it turns out the problem is not solved by rebuilding the Settings. You can make it a little easier to restore your customizations if you have Eudora create a list of them for you before you rebuild the Settings. Do this by opening a new message composition window and then choose "Insert system configuration" from the Help menu.
