Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / May 2004mailbox drawer shortcut?
Hey there. Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut for showing/hiding the mailbox drawer? I haven't been able to find one, but I know that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't one. (I'm using 6.0.1.) Thanks! -S. Skinner :> Hey there. :> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] :> Thanks! :> -S. Skinner Eudora has no mailbox drawer. That's Apple's Mail.  SignatureSteve W.

I really don't much care for that, now that I see it. I wonder what I would ever use it for? So I stand corrected. But I see no keyboard shortcut that would activate it. = Steve = SignatureSteve W.

I hadn't seen it either, and it requires a bit of rejigging to get it into view. But I can see one use for it. It could be useful for drag and drop transferring of emails from the open mailbox to any other without having to go up to the top menu.

Is this any different from the Mailboxes list that previous versions of Eudora have made available from the 'Special' menu? Once enabled, it remains visible for ever unless you close it. Extremely useful for doing what you mentioned there... I haven't used the 'Transfer' menu for years; 'Mailboxes' is much quicker and nicer SignaturePeter :> Rifty <rifty@tpg.com.au> wrote: :> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] :> what you mentioned there...

If I'm correct, then they are indeed different. Personally, I always keep the Mailboxes window open, including tabs for Address Book, Filters and Signatures. But to get a drawer, you need to actually open a window for one of your mailboxes (you'll see the Drawer item on the Window menu is dimmed until you do). What I discovered once this was pointed out to me is that, once opened, the drawer's state will remain set for that particular mailbox every time you open its window. Next time you open the same mailbox window, the drawer will be open or closed as it was when the window last closed. So I suppose if I had it open on my Trash window, I could readily use drag and drop instead of the Transfer menu to remove items that should not have been filtered there, for instance. = Steve = SignatureSteve W.

Clearly it's a version thang- I'm using 3.1.3 Light and that has an item called Special->Mailboxes, and I keep the 'Mailboxes' window open all the time. However, if the drawer contains all the mailboxes, then it'll be functionally much the same, although it's nice to have the one 'Mailboxes' window accessible from all the others. And it can be placed where I like, and not associated with any particular window. On a 15" TiBook, which has plenty of screen width, this is ideal. But I'm sure I shall be able to live with the new way.

You'll be happy to know that you also have the option of continuing in the old way--you still have the same familiar 'Mailboxes' window, it's just that now it's under the Window menu instead of the Special menu.

Oh goody. Thanks Kathy for those reassuring words from Tok... SignaturePeter :> Steve W.

As somebody else has posted, the same Mailboxes window is available via the Window menu. I have always kept mine open, and can't think of any possible reason why this new drawer will ever find its way into how I use Eudora. But I'm curious why on earth anyone's still using 3.1.3!! I left that behind ages ago and forgot everything about it as I moved on to bigger and better features. = Steve = SignatureSteve W.

Well I'm using 6.1 in Light mode now, and I can't understand ever wanting to use the drawer, either. > But I'm curious why on earth anyone's still using 3.1.3!! > I left that behind ages ago and forgot everything about it as I moved on > to bigger and better features. I went on using it because it was absolutely excellent- very stable and very fast, even in 10.2.6/Classic. I'd been using it for years in OS8 and OS9- still am, on an old marmalade coloured TonkaBook networked to my TiBook- and I saw no need to change, so I didn't. Now I'm using 6.1 Light, it feels pretty well exactly the same. There are no new features that I want to use- my ISP has excellent spam filtering and the filters I worked out for 3.1.3 work identically in 6.1, except that they seem to be a bit slower, and they don't show in the task progress window as they did in 3.1.3, which seems a retrograde step to me. But it's no big deal. I don't need personalities, as multiple settings files do me absolutely fine when I change location to a new ISP. None of the four ISPs I use require smtp authentication, but it is still theoretically nice to be able to do that if it crops up in future. I can see Asian characters displayed if I actually look at the occasional Korean spams that get through. Big deal. I could have previews of the mails, but I'd rather have the list view real estate, so I've switched them off. It's been worth changing simply to eliminate some minor bugs that surfaced in 3.1.3 in Classic- but they were pretty minor. It's introduced some small irritations of its own- for instance it won't let me view my previously archived HTML mails in a browser- says "Couldn't send the HTML to your browser. -39,(24:2788)." Those were collected using 3.1.3- the ones I have collected with 6.1 don't have any problems. Paradoxically, when I transfer these 6.1 downloads across the network to my TonkaBook which is using 3.1.3, it can view them in the browser without trouble. Not that it's a great problem- if I need to see earlier HTML mails on the TiBook, I can always fire up 3.1.3; displaying them in a (Classic) browser works from there. All in all 6.1 is okay. Actually *better* than 3.1.3? Not much. But 3.1.3 was damn good. SignaturePeter > But I'm curious why on earth anyone's still using 3.1.3!! > I left that behind ages ago and forgot everything about it as I moved on > to bigger and better features. I expect it's for the same reason I'm still using Quicken '98--it does everything I need, I'm comfortable with it, and it's already paid for. I know I was very happy with 3.1.3 for a long time, but when Eudora added format=flowed and a spell-checker, I just had to have the newer version. Since then I'm been upgrading as fast as I can get my hands on the new versions. I particularly appreciate the Junk mail filtering built into version 6.x. SignatureKathy :> Steve W.

And the junk mail filtering is not a reason why I've kept current, since you have to have the paid version to get that. I've been using the sponsored mode since not long after it became available. But in general, I concur about keeping what works. I eventually moved beyond Quicken 98 when I got tired of some quirks in OS X and got a really good deal on a newer version. I'm in no hurry to go beyond my current version. = Steve = SignatureSteve W. Jackson Montgomery, Alabama |
