Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / September 2004Eudora 6.1.1 crashes in OSX 10.3.5
My Eudora has been crashing since updating to 10.3.5. This happens during mail check. I have lots of folders, email addresses, settings, etc., so finally made a copy of my Eudora folder and just re-installed a brand new Eudora 6.1 to see what would happen. It crashes just like the old one, so it's not settings related. I want to go back to the previous OSX; anybody know how to do that without re-inventing the wheel? My Eudora has been crashing since updating to OSX 10.3.5. This happens during mail check. I have lots of folders, email addresses, settings, etc., so finally made a separate copy of my Eudora folder and just re-installed a brand new Eudora 6.1 to see what would happen. It crashes just like the old one, so it's not settings related. To me, that pretty much makes it a 10.3.5 conflict. I didn't have anything in the new Eudora except a couple of my email addresses to check. I think I want to go back to the previous OSX; anybody know how to do that without re-inventing the wheel? > My Eudora has been crashing since updating to 10.3.5. This happens > during mail check.

Quit Eudora. Remove your settings file from ~/Documents/Eudora Folder (don't trash it yet). Lauch Eudora and enter your settings again. If the problem has disappeared, that's it. Of course if you have an older known to be good back-up of your settings file then it would be easier to use that instead of entering your settings again. But it sounds like you only made your back-up after the problem started, which makes that back-up likely to be useless. Unfortunately many people seem to misunderstand what a back-up is - it is the thing you do when there are no problems. [...] > To me, that pretty much makes it a 10.3.5 conflict. In theory it could, but in practice it is extremely unlikely to be that simple or else many others would have run into the same problem. > I didn't have > anything in the new Eudora except a couple of my email addresses to > check.

Makes way more sens to me to try Eudora with a clean settings file.  SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!

I hope you work things out. Graham > > My Eudora has been crashing since updating to 10.3.5. This happens > > during mail check.

I trashed it (Take care, it has a backup file, that may get active. Trash this too.) and retyped everything. Eudora just works since then (years ago). Good luck Guenther > My Eudora has been crashing since updating to 10.3.5. This happens > during mail check.

Try the suggestions listed here: http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2446hq.html SignatureJennifer Mullen redjen@psu.edu I also had frequent crashes after installing 10.3.5. Trashing the settings and starting over seems to have eliminated most crashes. The only problem that I've had is when opening the settings window while several mailboxes and messages are open: The big icons in the Tool Box shut down. This occurs only on my iBook, 2USB, with 576MB but not on my B/W G3 with 1GB of memory. |
