The following is based on my experience with Eudora 5.0 and 5.1. under OS 9.2 and earlier. I hope it's helpful to those who have been posting to this list about problems with Eudora. (I don't know what applies to Eudora 6.x or OS X.)
1) Eudora Settings does not contain any information about mail folders. When the program starts up, it just looks in the Mail Folder inside the Eudora Folder and creates its list of Mailboxes. 2) You can also have several settings files with different names inside the Eudora Folder. You can use any such settings file as THE settings file by opening it, either from the Finder or from the Eudora file menu. You can create a totally new settings file by starting up Eudora without any settings file inside the Eudora folder. (It might work if you just rename the existing settings file -- I don't remember!) You can also duplicate an existing settings file, open it, and then modifying the settings. 3) You can also have Eudora Settings files inside different Eudora folders. If you open any Eudora Settings file, Eudora will start up or restart with that settings file being regarded as THE settings file and whatever folder contains that file being regarded as THE Eudora Folder. You can thus have two or more Eudora setups -- with different heirarchies of mail folders, address lists, etc. -- working with the same startup disk. This should make it easy to experiment with different settings without having multiple mail folders. 4) I haven't tried it, but I suppose you could even be running two such setups at once by duplicating the program and dropping the settings file from each setup on a different copy of the program! It would be a good idea, of course, to give the two copies different names. - Aaron -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
