Get Eudora up and communicating quickly with this
graphical guide. By David Flynn
Fine-tune Eudora through the Tools-Options
menu. You can prevent Eudora from attempting to
go online whenever you use it by selecting the
Offline box in the Getting Started category. You can
also disable the `splash screen' which appears when
you run Eudora by adding the line NoSplashScreen=1 under the
[Settings] section of the eudora.ini file.
Eudora's folders and mailboxes can be
confusing, especially as there's no reference to
folders in the online help. Mailboxes are used to
store messages and include the In, Out and Trash areas by default.
You can add other mailboxes as needed. These can be listed at the
foot of the Mailbox menu (called the `top level') or be nested inside
cascading folders.
Manage mailboxes and folders the easy way
through the Tools, Mailboxes menu.
To move a message from one
mailbox to another, select or open the message you
want to transfer, then pull down the Transfer menu
and choose the name of the mailbox you want to transfer it to. You
can also create a new mailbox and transfer a message into it all in one
step by choosing New from the Transfer menu.
Regularly send e-mail to a particular person?
Add them to Eudora's message menu by clicking
`Put it on the recipient list' in the New Nickname
dialogue box.
Where to now
