Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / August 2004Eudora 6 not retrieving all messages
I'm having an issue with Eudora 6.1.1 under OS X 10.3 (although this problem has existed since at least version 4 with System 7.x) not retrieving all the email in my POP account with my ISP. It downloads most mail just fine, but some of it gets left on the server, and 99% of the time it's spam. Now I DO NOT have the option checked in Eudora's settings to "leave on server for X days" and never have. It just seems like there's some bug in Eudora that it doesn't see these messages, perhaps due to some formatting issue. I have to use the web email access, or a different POP email program like POPmonitor or the very old PopThing to see these messages and delete them. Has anyone else seen this problem? I couldn't find anything in the Usenet archives or Qualcomm's Eudora site about this. Thanks for any help! > I'm having an issue with Eudora 6.1.1 under OS X 10.3 (although this > problem has existed since at least version 4 with System 7.x) not > retrieving all the email in my POP account with my ISP.

Just a data point; using Eudora 6.1.1 under OS 10.2.6, and a POP3 account which receives mail for many account names @cara.d.c.u, I see no such problems at all.

Me neither. Eudora 6.1.1; POP3 and own domain name. SYSTEM: macintosh G4; 466Mhz; OS 10.3.5; 896 Mb RAM SignaturePeterG.

Haven't you the box "skip messages over ..." checked in Settings ---> Checking Mail --> Mail management ? I had similar problems with some mail server, and it was coming from that. JPaul.

I have had a similar problem with an occasional Spam message for which Eudora detects "Encoding errors". Such messages show up (perhaps in the spam mailbox) with a red "x" in place of the usual blue dot in the status column. Also they are "left on server", and if you have that column showing in your mailbox, then you have to option (when you click on that column) of "delete from server." This happens even when you don't have "Skip messages over..." or "Save or Server..." checked. It is conceivable that if you delete the message from your Junk mailbox, or if the junk mailbox gets trimmed, then the message would be left on the server. Indeed, I just tried this and this is what happened. So I guess you have to manually select "delete from server" before you trash these messages.

Now that makes some sense. I've noticed in the past when a email has encoding errors that it gives you the chance to "fetch" the message again with a new button in the email's toolbar, meaning the email would still have to be on the server. I definitely don't have "Skip messages over..." or "Save on server..." checked and never have. But the encoding problems sound like a possible cause of the issue. I will check that next time I get messages that stay on the server against the ones in my trash (they are usually all spam, and get filtered as such). Since I get a great deal of spam, it should be easy to figure out. I do see the Server column displayed, so I will check that next time. I get so much spam that even one message with encoding errors may be sent to me 15 times. Hence, over a week it can add up to 300 messages or more stuck on the server. Sure would be nice if there were a setting for Eudora to delete all messages, including those with encoding errors in email I DO want to get. As long as I can receive them and open them, I don't care about encoding errors since fetching them again never fixes the problem. I bet in almost 9 years using Eudora, I've had less than 50 badly encoded messages that weren't spam.

Ah, that's very cool, I hadn't ever seen that dialog before. However, I notice it doesn't hold the settings like a preference, the options must be checked each time I use that command. Thanks for the advice! > There is. :-) Command-option-m to check mail special, then check the > options you want. Thanks a lot Kathy !... I havn't known this option before. Very easy ;-)) JPaul.

Indeed, that was the answer. All of the files left on the server had encoding errors, and your method does delete them. Thanks for the help! |
