Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / November 2007

I haven't been following the transition of Eudora to Thunderbird.
I am a long time Eudora user (10 years plus) and looking for any "good"
articles or reviews on moving to Thunderbird or Apple's Mail.
Thanks for any info.

I cannot start Eudora from the dock because Eudora cannot finnd the
correct backup file. I muust go to Documents> Eudora Folder> and click
on yesterday's backup.
Then everything works.

After using some version or the other of Eudora for 10+ years, I'm
finally bailing to Thunderbird. (Heck, even the Eudora developers have
switched...)
Some notes in case other people are doing this:

Due to changes at my server (perhaps having something to do with going
from POP to IMAP), I now have a box named In, for which there is an

characters. Is there a way to increase the number of characters that are
displayed?
I'm using Eudora 6.2.4 on a PPC G4 Mac.

You'd make a great detective, Kathy. I did misspell a user name.
But I'm still not out of the woods.
My address book and my mailboxes do not open when I start Eudora from
the dock.

This is probably tied to my previous problem where Eudora could not find
the correct
 settings file.
I find it manually in the Eudora folder.

A frieind suggests that I set up an error log by using esoteric settings.
I have loked at the Eudora.com site, and cannot follow the instructions
for esoteric settings.
How does one do it?

I continue to have sluggishness and crashes with Eudora 6.4.2,
Leopard, and my pre-intel G5.  The message I'm getting a lot is Error
-39  end of file reached.
Any ideas??

Does Eudora 6.2.4 work under Leopard?
Thanks in advance,

I've kicked this one around before and have had lots of well-meaning
advice, I hope this time I get an answer from Kathy Morgan.

my desktop and puck a backup that refers to yesterday's activity. It
