====================
Eudora for Macintosh
====================
-------------
Version 1.5.1
-------------
This is the freeware version of Eudora for the Macintosh. There is also
a commercial version of Eudora called Eudora by QUALCOMM (Version 2.0
and above). If you would like information about the commercial
version, a brief description is provided in the Balloon Help menu of
this freeware. Select About Commercial Eudora to display this dialog.
You can also subscribe to the QUALCOMM Enterprise Software Technologies
(QUEST) mailing list by selecting QUEST Mailing List from the Balloon
Help menu. This list will provide subscribers with occasional
information about Eudora, Eudora by QUALCOMM, and other QUEST
products.
The latest freeware version of Eudora for the Macintosh can be found on
ftp.qualcomm.com, in the directory quest/eudora/mac/1.5. The Macintosh
freeware user manual can also be found on ftp.qualcomm.com, in the
directory quest/eudora/mac/documentation. The user manual is formatted
in Microsoft Word format.
Both the freeware and its documentation can also be retrieved via
e-mail using QUALCOMM's list server. To obtain the freeware, send a
message to majordomo@qualcomm.com with the body text as follows:
get freeware Mac/Eudora.hqx
If you want the native Power Macintosh version of the freeware, use the
following message:
get freeware Mac/Eudora/fat.hqx
To obtain the user manual, send a message to majordomo@qualcomm.com
with the body text as follows:
get freeware Mac/doc.hqx
The files will be returned to you as message attachments. Note that
they are large files and may take some time to download to your
desktop.
--------------------
Minimum Requirements
--------------------
- System 7 or later
- At least 340K of RAM
------------
Installation
------------
To install the Eudora freeware, just copy it onto your hard disk.
-------------
Configuration
-------------
The first time you run Eudora you will have to edit some of the
configuration information in order to be able to send and receive
mail.
Select Settings... from the Special Menu. The Settings dialog is then
displayed with the Getting Started settings selected.
The fields you need to review are:
POP Account: To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer
that runs a POP3 server. This is the account to which your e-mail
messages are delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora
program on your PC. In this field, type your login name for this
account and the full (domain) name of the computer, separating them
with an "@" sign. For example, if your assigned login name is
"carolyn," and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is
"uxh.cso.uiuc.edu," type "carolyn@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu" in this field.
Real Name: Type your real name. Your name, as it appears here, is
displayed in parentheses after your return address in your outgoing
mail. It is also displayed in the sender column of all messages you
send.
SMTP Server: To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol) server program is necessary. You need not have a
login to this computer, but you must have access to it through your
network. If the computer on which you have your POP account is also an
SMTP server, leave this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of
the computer you want to use as your SMTP server.
Return Address: Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return
address. If you wish to use a return address other than your POP
account, enter it here.
--------------
COMPATIBILITY
--------------
System 6
--------
Symptom: Eudora refuses to run.
Explanation: Sorry, Eudora does not run under System 6.
Workaround: None.
AppleTalk Remote Access:
-----------------------
Symptom: you get an alert that says "the selected port is in use".
Explanation: If you have ARA's "Answer calls" option selected (from
Remote Access Setup from Setup), and you have Eudora configured to use
the Communications Toolbox on the same port that ARA uses, Eudora may
be unable to connect. This is a conflict between the Communications
Toolbox and ARA.
Workaround: Turn "Answer calls" off in ARA if you have this problem.
Apple Modem Tool
----------------
Symptom: Eudora cannot login to your server, instead timing out during
the navigation process.
Explanation: Eudora is incompatible with version 1.0 of the Apple
Modem Tool.
Solution: You must use version 1.1 or later of the Apple Modem Tool, or
the Hayes Modem Tool. We recommend the use of version 1.5 of the Apple
Modem Tool.
Moire
-----
Symptom: 68040-based Macintosh crashes when Eudora is launched.
Explanation: Eudora is incompatible with the screensaver "Moire", when
run with the 68040 caches enabled in 32-bit mode.
Workaround: We suggest the freeware screensaver "DarkSide".
NOW Utilities 4.0/SuperBoomerang
-------------------------------
Symptom: When launched, Eudora complains about being unable to open
certain mailboxes, claiming they are "too large".
Explanation: The "reopen documents" feature of SuperBoomerang is the
problem It will not work as intended with Eudora, and it is really not
necessary for Eudora anyway.
Solution: You may disable this option by using the "Disable Re-Launch"
menu in the "Exclude..." dialog in the SuperBoomerang control panel.
Symptom: You cannot set your application to open TEXT files or your
attachments folder.
Explanation: Versions of NOW Utilities prior to 4.0.1 interfere with
this aspect of Eudora.
Solution: Upgrade to NOW Utilities 4.0.1 or later.
Symptom: Eudora crashes when printing.
Explanation: NOW Up-to-Date Reminder 2.0's Show Battery Status option
causes crashes when Eudora is printing.
Workaround: Turn Show Battery Status off. NOW is aware of the problem,
and has promised to fix it.
Norton Directory Assistance
-------------------------
Symptom: The attachment folder does not change, even if you set it with
the dialog.
Explanation: Norton Directory Assistance interferes with this aspect of
Eudora.
Workaround: Hold down the option key before clicking the button in the
Attachments dialog, and keep it down until the Standard File dialog
opens.
Global Village PowerPort Modems
------------------------------
Symptom: Attachments are sometimes corrupted or characters are lost in
text messages.
Explanation: Flow control in Powerbooks is very poor.
Workaround: The best solution is to use version 1.5 of the Apple Modem
Tool, set to "Software MNP" error correction.
CAP/aufs
--------
Symptom: Mailboxes are frequently corrupted.
Explanation: CAP/aufs has a bug that causes problems with Eudora and a
few other programs.
Solution: A patch is available (#168); be sure you have it.
KA-Share
--------
Symptom: Attachments saved to KA-Share volumes cannot be opened from
within Eudora.
Explanation: KA-Share does not implement file id's.
Workaround: Do not put your attachment folder on a KA-Share volume.
Apollo
------
Symptom: Crashes.
Explanation: Version 1.0 of the Apollo application launching utility
cannot handle long window names (such as Eudora generates) if
configured to sort windows alphabetically.
Workaround: Use the Window menus page of the Preferences dialog to set
the sorting to front-to-back.
Greg's Buttons
-------------
Symptom: Dialup Eudora does not work.
Explanation: Versions of Greg's Buttons prior to 3.0 may interefere
with the Communications Toolbox.
Solution: Upgrade to Greg's Buttons 3.0 or later.
FileGuard 2.5.1
-------------
There are reports of problems between Eudora and FileGuard 2.5.1.
DoubleScroll 2.0.3
----------------
Symptom: Eudora windows scroll off into oblivion.
Explanation: DoubleScroll has a bug.
Workaround: None. The author of DoubleScroll has promised a fix.
MenuChoice 1.9
-------------
Symptom: Choosing an item from a submenu of the Apple menu causes
strange dialogs and crashes in Eudora.
Explanation: MenuChoice 1.9 has a bug.
Solution: Get MenuChoice 2.0 or later.
AutoDoubler
-----------
Symptom: None
Explanation: Eudora normally uses "asynchronous" i/o to files, enabling
smoother operations to fileservers. AutoDoubler interferes with
asynchronous i/o.
Workaround: Eudora automatically disables asynchronous i/o if it finds
AutoDoubler on your system. StuffIt SpaceSaver (Aladdin Systems) does
not suffer from this problem, so you could also switch to that.
Mac340
-------
Symptom: Strange font displays in Mac340 and/or Eudora.
Explanation: Eudora and Mac340 both use private fonts, and there is an
id conflict.
Workaround: Use a font other than "Mishawaka" in Eudora.
------------
BUG REPORTS
------------
We can't test all situations or Macintosh configurations. If you think
your may have found a bug, we'd like to hear about it. Send mail to
eudora-hotline@qualcomm.com; tell us what kind of mac you have, what
version of Eudora you're using, what you did, what happened, and what
