Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / May 2008Eudora crashes
I am using Eudora v. 6.2.4. I recently upgraded my OS to 10.5.2. Eudora crashes when I try to open mail. No big deal as I just relaunch. All the settings are correct. I can send and receive. Are there some conflicts with OS 10.5 ? > I am using Eudora v. 6.2.4. I recently upgraded my OS to 10.5.2. > > Eudora crashes when I try to open mail.

Personally, I don't think there are conflicts with 10.5.x at all, just with other things that some people may have/use on their systems. I've had no troubles at all.  SignatureSteve W.

I have now turned the sound off alltogether and will see how it goes. > Some Leopard users report benefit from also changing > to using separate TOC files, rather than resource forks, > but not everyone finds the same.

To the original poster: Follow the suggestions on the page cited above, (regarding sound settings), and I think you'll find Eudora to work perfectly fine in Leopard. I did it, and mine does. (I did not have to change to separate TOC files.) > I am using Eudora v. 6.2.4. I recently upgraded my OS to 10.5.2. > > Eudora crashes when I try to open mail.

Try setting any sound notifications to system ones rather than Eudora ones.

Thanks all. In article <87b8fa6a-2437-4689-833c-82bf7c12bbfb@f36g2000hsa.googlegroups.com>, > > I have read that there are problems with Eudora sounds.

There are one other set of sounds that you have to turn off via x-settings -- the sounds that come when somebody using Outlook Express sends you a message and you get that "Notify Sender" box. This plays a "Eudora sound", so you have to turn those off as well. It's best to set them to a non-existant sound: <x-eudora-setting:7118=NOTHINGHERE> <x-eudora-setting:7907=NOTHINGHERE> That helped a couple of my users who were getting e-mail from relatives still using Outlook Express... - Steve > There are one other set of sounds that you have to turn off via > x-settings -- the sounds that come when somebody using Outlook Express [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > <x-eudora-setting:7118=NOTHINGHERE> > <x-eudora-setting:7907=NOTHINGHERE> Do you mean "Return Receipts"? If those sounds are different and can be nullified, as above, then that's an improvement from the previous idea to set automatic "always yes (or no)" for Return Receipts. One summary of all related useful Leopard adjustments would seem to be useful to have as reference. Are there any other still unique sounds? Thanks. --- Of course, it would also be useful if Leopard would not suffer crashes, just because of sound files which it does not understand (or are "sound files" some sort of "executable," rather than just encoded sound recordings?) > > <x-eudora-setting:7118=NOTHINGHERE> > > <x-eudora-setting:7907=NOTHINGHERE> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > then that's an improvement from the previous idea > to set automatic "always yes (or no)" for Return Receipts. I *believe* that's different. > One summary of all related useful Leopard adjustments > would seem to be useful to have as reference. > > Are there any other still unique sounds? I asked the developer this and he said "no" -- that was the only other "hidden" sound that would use one of the bad "Eudora" sounds... - Steve As I said before, I canceled all the Eudora sounds and have had no crashes since. Thanks again. In article <0d959427-cec6-493d-b48d-91b708112501@27g2000hsf.googlegroups.com>, > As I said before, I canceled all the Eudora sounds and have had no > crashes since. > > Thanks again. The only *other* crash we've seen here (and can't reproduce with 100% certainty) is with attachments. For some of my users, if they attach documents through the "Attach Document" command in the message menu, the program will SPOD when it brings up the Finder window where a document would be selected. Then the program will eventually crash at that point. But it's not always reproducible. I'd *love* to get a reproducible case for this so I can send it up to Apple/Qualcomm. Dragging attachments into an open message always is fine, though. - Steve > In article > <0d959427-cec6-493d-b48d-91b708112501@27g2000hsf.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > - Steve I don't have a clue what "SPOD" might mean, but...

I've tried it a couple of times, and both times, my recipients reported not receiving an attachment.

I found another site that says "pinwheel," which makes more sense. (Unless you know anyone who divides their pizzas into six different-colored sections.) Actually, I've always heard it described as a "beachball."

SPOD is kinda Johnny come lately... SignaturePeter > I have *never* used > the drag-to-open-message technique except once to test something someone > in this NG reported. If you mean dragging the attachment(s) into the open message window, to where it says 'attachments', then I've never used any other method, and it's always been totally reliable and incredibly simple. But I've not tried it in Eudora 6.4 and OS 10.5.n, which from what I read here is the combination seems to cause the trouble. > And I don't have any crashes except rarely, and > none that appear related to attachments. Certainly true here, using PPC Macs, OS 10.3.9 and OS 10.4.11, and Eudora Light 6.1. Not even rare crashes; certainly none in the past several years.

That's the only way I ever attach anything... and I'm using Eudora 6.4 and OS 10.5.2. No crashes having anything to do with attachments.

It was only until we started updating people to 10.5.x that we found a number of people were using the menus for this... - Steve >I, too, as the admin here only ever "dragged" attachments into Eudora So, any idea why when I drag a photo into the message window, my recipients never see it?

Not sure why that would be, but there is a difference between dragging a photo into the message window (where it gets sent inline, I believe) and dragging the same file to the part of the message where it says "Attachments."

Ah, okay. When you folks were talking about dragging attachments into a Eudora message, I thought you meant into the message window. I'll try dragging a photo to the Attachments header and see what happens.

Are you sure the photos are a format your receivers can read. I always use JPG. |
