700k - for the application and more memory allocation to sustain the Eudora Folder inside the System folder as it gets filled up with attachments/mailboxes. >So I'd update to 4.2.2 if I were you.

I found that there was duplicate Eudora folder outside the system folder that the application sees. I solved the problem by moving the latest into the system folder thus replacing the older. (whenevr it asks to create a new set of mailboxes I choose "use older set."
