Can I turn off the whole Recipient History List function in Eudora? -- a
pref or setting somewhere?
(I just don't want all this automatic stuff happening; want to know and
control what goes in my address book myself only.)

Since I own some domains that are only used by myself (i.e. they're not
"company" domains), I have all email sent to those domains hard-mapped
to a single "catchall" mailbox. In other words... if my domain were
(hypothetical example) foo.com, it would make no difference whether you

I'm new back to Eudora.  I used it for sometime when I was stuck in windows.
Question:  If Eudora provides HTML support, why do all my messages that come
in HTML not render properly?  They are at times unreadable.  In fact, most of
the time they look pretty bad.  I have the ...

I finally upgraded from Eudora 5 to Eudora 6 (specifically 6.2.1).
I thought it would help monitor for spam and to figure out who I might
want to add to my address book to use the filter option "From" "Doesn't
intersect address book."

The printer gets to the last line and stalls.  The printer works fine with
other applications.

I use Eudora 6.23 with OSX10.3.8 to check three mailboxes.
The task bar shows progress through the first two, then disappears. Then
the program behaves as if it is in a frozen state- I can click on
nothing- while the third mailbox is being checked. It takes a long time

I just wanted to check something in the Log and found it empty. Just
sent an email and still empty. ISTR checking it in the past and it was
fine. Any ideas please?

I have sponsored 5.2 for the Mac.
How does the address autocomplete work?  Yes, I know it works when I
start to type something from my address book.  But it also seems to try
to work when I'm typing a nickname NOT in the address book but that

Eudora 6.1 used to be fast but is now very slow checking mail while my
browser is very snappy - which makes me think the ISP is ok.
I don't think the open mailboxes are especially large & I have lots of
memory. Could it be slow SPAM filtering?

Whenever I receive attachments from one particular person, they seem to be
corrupted when Eudora tries to download them. I get a red octagonal icon and
"One or more attachments were corrupt. Message and/or attachments are probably
corrupt". There is no attachment on the message, ...

Just installed Eudora 6.2.3 on my new iMac G5 (OS X version 10.4.2).
While creating personalities, Eudora won't let me name them. Whenever I
name a personality, Eudora warns that naming it will make the
personality dominant. Sometimes it makes it dominant even when I hit

I am unable to import OE 5.0.6 messages into Thunderbird.  The Thunderbird
import option/wizard does not show OE [running OS X Tiger, with OE either
closed or open in Classic (OS 9.2.2) mode].  
How can I make OE appear visible to Thunderbird?  Are there other options

I receive incoming emails that have had the string ##[SPAM]## inserted
in their Subject: line by my university mail server, and that my Eudora
client also identifies marks as Junk.
I also receive other incoming emails that aren't caught and marked by

I have students sending my hand-coded html code in a text file
attachment.  When it arrives, it displays as rendered html and I can't
see the source.  Is there some way to turn off html in Eudora, so that I
can see the code?
