Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / March 2008Getting rid of the gray square with Eudora logo
I recently went from PC to iMac and installed Eudora 6.2 for Mac. Whenever it's open, this gray square box with the Eudora logo appears. If this has a function, I can't find it. Does it have a function? If not, is there a way to make it not appear? Thanks. > I recently went from PC to iMac and installed Eudora 6.2 for Mac. > Whenever it's open, this gray square box with the Eudora logo appears. > If this has a function, I can't find it.

You could confirm easily enough by switching to some other app and seeing if it disappears until you return to Eudora. Other than switching to paid mode (not sure if it's possible now that Eudora isn't supported/sold any longer) or lite mode (where some functionality is lost), there's no way to get rid of it. But it doesn't eat much screen real estate, so I'd suggest learning to ignore it. = Steve =  SignatureSteve W.

That was VERY helpful! I've always paid for Eudora, so did not recognize the ad space. I simply entered my registration code from the last time I purchased Eudora and it worked! The gray square is gone! Many thanks! ...Bob > That was VERY helpful! I've always paid for Eudora, so did not > recognize the ad space.

I presume that was the registration code from a Eudora for Windows purchase; it's good to know that it will also work with Eudora for Mac--we can pass the news on to other switchers who may ask in future.

Thanks from me too I was also very interested to hear that. I've used Eudora under Windows since Eudora 2.2 something or other and I've been contemplating buying a Mac as my next computer.

Waiting for a sufficient increase in my bank balance. :-) I can relate to that... I delayed purchasing my new MacBook Pro (finally got it back in late November) for several months while I watched to see if Leopard's release would be on time and if my own bank balance would allow me to proceed.

Yes, it was from my last purchase of Eudora for Windoze. I'm glad I routinely print those registration confirmations and file them. It was easy to find the code. ...Bob > I simply entered my registration code > from the last time I purchased Eudora and it worked! Yes, the original purchase form never even asked whether you were a Mac or Windows user, because it made no difference. Qualcomm doesn't want to collect any more money; they only want not to be responsible for paying any third parties with whom they contracted to include code and pay a commission on each sale, regardless even if it is free, so they can't actually give it away now, after "retiring" the product, even though that seemed to be the intent of wording in their patent (they in fact own a patent on the registration and sponsorship system). You can find registration info elsewhere, however, if you want it: http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showpost.php?p=37388 http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/printthread.php?t=13301 Patent info: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows/msg/e743701846bc9ebb > You can find registration info elsewhere, however, if you want it: > > http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showpost.php?p=37388 > http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/printthread.php?t=13301 Those posts give some helpful information, but not full details. If you make a good guess on the search words to use in Google, you can find details easily without looking at those posts. I will leave people to guess the words themselves, but mention that "university" might cut the pages found to a usefully small number.

In addition to supplying further information (e.g. about the Eudora patent) the posts were, after all, on Qualcomm's own forums, on which it might be a bit abusing their hospitality to be too explicit. I didn't want to bother any university either, of course. To quote one of the postings, however: > Did you see the eclipse this week? > If you missed it, search Google for: snatch eclipse alkavour Since there is some malware on some sites (including potential "drive-by install" attempts), it might be best not to visit the sites, but just to look at search results already safely quoted by a search engine. Readers of the Windows Eudora newsgroup are fairly regularly treated to registrations generated on request by "Froggie the Gremlin" and by others, although only "froggie" omits an "X-No-Archive: yes" header, thus preserving all of his contributions for posterity. -- |
