Your suggestion worked. I dragged the old Outbox to the desktop as you suggested. I tried to copy all the files back in to the new Outbox after re-launching Eudora, but it wouldn't accept a couple of them. None of the lost files are important enough to worry about, but all is fine again.
Thanks for your offer to hack.
cheers, Myke

My wife's Out Mail box is missing. We are using 5.2.
Under the Mailbox heading in the menu, it shows as being checked or visible, but does not show up on the screen anywhere. If I search for a specific message, it brings it up, but no Out Box.
I'm guessing it's corrupt, and it is just the Out Box, but I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience. Nothing on the Eudora site that matches this problem.
It doesn't appear when you select it from the Mailbox menu? Even after giving Eudora 5 more memory?
Quit Eudora. Drag it out of the Eudora Folder onto the desktop. Rename the Out box (on your desktop) to something like "old-Out". Launch Eudora (which will now create a new Out box).
Try double-clicking on the old-Out box. Maybe Eudora will open it then, so you can transfer everything out. If still no joy, use a tool like File Buddy to delete the resource fork of the file then retry. If still no joy, you can hack it with a text editor. If you don't want to try yourself, stuff the mailbox and email the archive to me; I'll try hacking at it if you wish.
