- Eudora really can only support getting new mail at one machine, and all mail
- at another. This seems to work well for the folks who want all their mail
- to wind up on their machine at work, and also want to be able to see any new
- mail from home.
-
- The way to set this up is:
- - turn the LMOS switch off on your primary machine. This will download all
- messages to that machine and delete them from the server
- - turn the LMOS switch on on your secondary machine. This will download any
- new mail, but leave the messages on the server so the primary machine can
- get them later.
-
- Remember to shut down Eudora on your primary machine when you leave so that
- it's not sucking down the messages and deleting them, preventing your
- secondary machine from retrieving new messages.
-
- The next commercial version of Eudora (3.0) will have a better mechanism for
- keeping all your mail on mulitple machines.
