Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / August 2004need to share 1 Mac ...
do not understand Eudora's instructions...is there a simple way to share Eudora at home with 2 separate email addresses ? many thanks ! The Bettsons, Calgary, Alberta Canada please reply to : bbettson@shaw.ca > do not understand Eudora's instructions...is there a simple way to share > Eudora at home with 2 separate email addresses ? Yes, use the 2 "personalities" sections in Eudora's preferences to set it up. Each personality equals a different set of a couple of settings, including email address, mail servers, sigs and such. The name of the personality can be whatever you like as long as it is unique. It's just to be able distinguish between them.

If you want personal help, you pay.  SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!

If two *people* are to share the Mac this is not the best way. Their mail would get merged. There are two straightforward ways. Let's assume the other person's name is Sally. - If you have Mac OS X just create a new account for Sally. When Sally starts Eudora it will ask her to enter her setting. or (in either OS) - copy the file Eudora Settings to a new folder - "Sally's mail folder". Make an alias of the new settings file, name the alias "Sally's mail" and place it conveniently on the Desktop. > If two *people* are to share the Mac this is not the best way. > Their mail would get merged. Using a filter "if personnality is A" --> transfer to mailbox A or (and) a filter "if personnality is not A" --> transfer to mailbox B they are not merged. I've been using that for ages !... But I do agree that the solution of two accounts each with their settings file is better for Mac OS X. And you can first copy the settings to Sally account, and then adapt it. JPul.

But if the two personalities correspond to two persons (read the subject line!) they may want to have their mail a little more separated. > But if the two personalities correspond to two persons (read the subject > line!) they may want to have their mail a little more separated. Yes or not. I repeat that I've used that for ages. We are two people too. Each of us both read in his/her mailbox... JPaul.

I think that Personalities is a pain, frankly, and the whole problem is eliminated entirely by (as someone mentioned) creating two different settings files and booting from them into two separate mail folders. I ave always used that and you can have as many completely separate email accounts as you like.

The OP mentioned "2 separate email addresses", not "2 people". SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!

I'm so used to useless Subject lines that I look at the body (after the subject line has triggered my interest... ;)).

If you want personal help, you pay. Could be they just don't have a complete newsfeed. I often ask for email replies for that reason -- I don't think everything that is posted gets to come past me.

Then they can get one, or request a *copy* through email using the Mail-Copies-To header (not that I ever honour such requests, but that's personal).
