Shouldn't Eudora check for mail after my computer wakes from sleep?
The last time it would have checked mail would be hours ago. Why do I
have to manually ask it to check the mail? Shouldn't it know that it
is hours later?

Hello people,
i've just moved from a Win XP Box to a Mac with Os x.
I want to use Eudora as the mail application of choice but of course I
don't want to loose all of my old emails and contacts!

I have a huge mbox file that is saved by a pop3 server into a unix
directory. When I download this file with FTP to a Mac, how can I load
this file with Eudora and read the individual messages stored in it?
Thanks,

So I keep getting messages at shutdown that there is old junk {30 days+}
in JUNK and should Eudora delete it?
Trouble is; I empty JUNK at least daily.
So I used the bug report link on /download to explain.

I've made the switch to the Mac world and wonder if my Eudora Pro Windoze
key will work on the current version of Mac Eudora.  The key is less than
one years old.

Anyone know why certain words become underlined, change color and appear
as if they are hyperlinks as I type emails?
This seems to occur randomly. When I've sent messages in which this
happens to myself no underlines appear and nothing is hyperlinked. But

Dear All ­
is it possible to have Eudora 6.1.1 (Paid for) to display the name of the
addresses of an email? I've looked but haven't found how to do this (eg in
Preferences - Mailbox Display)

I changed (my brother's) ISP from Earthlink to Access4less, and now he
can't download e-mail.  He can send e-mail fine, but when he tries to
"check mail" the dialog box flashes momentarily then nothing.  I thought
maybe I had the SMTP entered wrong but I checked with the ISP and ...

Which is better/safer for Eudora 5.1?
Use old style '.toc' or none?
1) I may move to Eudora Windows. Does old or none make a difference when
transfering the mailboxes?

I am running OS 9.1 on a Beige G3.I just upgraded to Eudora 6.0 and now
when I go to check mail,my mail opens automatically without having to
double click.Is there a settings menue that allows me to change the
properties back to "normal"?Thanks,Bill.

I recently switched DSL providers, from EarthLink to Verizon. I was
using Eudora as my main POP client, but have lately been migrating to
Mail.
However, I still need to use Eudora on occasion to compose and send

When an ISP states that it supports POP3 but not SMTP what does this mean?
Does it mean it is not be possible to collect other (ISP's) mail from the
main ISP account e.g., my ISP provider is abc.com would I therefore no longer
be able to collect eyz.com mail by logging into abc ...

I have a mailbox with bout 1000 emails in. All of the emails are from
people who have requested a copy of a children's health newsletter I
publish.
I want to extract all the email addresses and the contents of their

I decided to yet again give Eudora (v6.1.1) another chance. But, to no
avail, the old girl is just too creaky now, and is not working well with
the modern OS - IMHO, and of course YMMV applies.
I managed to successfully import all my mail from, erm, Mail, but the

I overwrote Eudora Light 5 with Eudora Light 6 several months ago.  It
went easy.  But, I recently learned that I seem to be missing some
options (namely, the ability to disable Port 25 and change it to port
587), so I overwrote it again.  Still missing this option, at least as
