Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / April 2004

I have seen this happen a couple of times.

Eudora 6 looks for a "Eudora Folder" inside the "Documents" folder of your
HD and will create one if it doesn't exist.

Previous versions of Eudora used to store everything in a "Eudora Folder"
located inside your *System Folder* however. So I'd guess that your old
"Eudora Folder" is still lingering in there.

All you'd need to do is to move the old "Eudora Folder" from the "System
Folder" to the "Documents" folder and double-click on the "Eudora
Settings" file to start the program - that should fix it.

You can easily tell apart your old "Eudora Folder" from the new, empty one
by inspecting their size:  the original one will be much bigger. That's
the one you should use to replace the empty one with.

It is very possible the upgraded Eudora is pointing to a newly created
"Eudora Folder".  Do a search for "Eudora Folder" to see if it exists in
multiple locations.  If found, you can then copy into the folder the new
install created and you should be fine.
