Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / January 2004can't receive after strange bomb
I have Eudora 5.1, OS9.1, PowerMac 8200/100. Yesterday I had a Eudora bomb (latest of various bombs/freezes lately). When I restarted I got the mysterious message "STR#id100 was corrupt and had to be repaired. Should be okay now". Also found my Eudora settings had been deleted and had to redo them. I have screenshots of how they should be and they are now back to as before. But I find that I can't receive in Eudora. When I try to receive nothing happens. Sending is okay, altho' I no longer see the progress bar as emails are sent. Any suggestions please? Michael >I have Eudora 5.1, OS9.1, PowerMac 8200/100.

Any suggestions >please? First of all, delete your Eudora Settings once again by removing the file from the Eudora Folder, and restarting Eudora, then re-entering your settings. Boring, but I suspect it's necessary- it looks as though a resource associated with the Settings file may have been corrupted and entering new settings won't fix it without replacing the Settings file Holus Bolus. Second, check your memory allocation for Eudora. If you can, increase it (this is always good anyway). Third, rebuild your desktop. If after that lot it still fails, you'll have to replace the Eudora application file but normally it doesn't get that far.  SignaturePeter Many thanks yr speedy reply. Will try what you suggest this evening and let you know. Do you know if there is any way of saving one's settings so they default back to the right ones, so you don'thave to redo them manually each time? thanks again, Michael >Do you know if there is any way of saving one's >settings so they default back to the right ones, so you don'thave to >redo them manually each time? When you have a set that work, copy the Eudora Settings file from the Eudora Folder to some other, safe location. Then if you suspect you have corrupted settings, you just copy the good settings file back to the original place. SignaturePeter Wot a good idea, why didn't I think of that!!!! Michael |
