I recently moved all my Eudora folders and the executable to a new hard
drive. Everything continues to work perfectly as before ... except that
junk filtering no longer works.

My settings are exactly the same as they were before.

Any suggestions? Is there some internal quirk of junk filtering that
makes it sensitive to HD location or name?

Can you be more specific about how it no longer works? Do you have a
Junk mailbox? If no, then it may be that you need to move the
registration key over to the new HD. (It's a file, but I don't remember
the name offhand. If that's the problem, I'll check to see what the
file name is.) If you have a junk mailbox, but it's missing a lot of
spam, then it may be that the junk dictionary failed to move with the
other items. You can either move it over, or just retrain Eudora.

I still have a Junk mailbox. When I check for mail, nothing ever goes
into the Junk mailbox. If I manually move spam into the Junk mailbox, it
goes there. So it looks like filtering of incoming mail isn't happening.

Everything got copied off the old HD exactly as it was. The license must
have been copied since I don't have the on-screen advertisements you get
if it's not licensed.

I'm looking at the contents of my Eudora folder and I don't see the Junk
dictionary. Never saw it in the past either ... not sure how that works.
It doesn't train ... this has been going on a few days now.
