Because Peeved & I want to establish that one of us can win this p!$$!ng contest. I tire of having to explain/defend myself. I shan't debase myself any further arguing foolishly about foolish things with a fool, like a fool.

Consider the "Assanation/Assassination" list on it's way to being posted as soon as I have a moment to find all the pieces/parts.

JD I am probably the worst speller and Typist in the MacOSx Hints arena, world even:)


Hey Admins!! Can you Extend my hours to modify. I find spelling errors and typos in my posts every time I read them. Too bad this web product does not support Spell check. Really should cut paste from word.


I must modify virtually eveyone of my Posts about 6 times on average:)

Cut and paste from TextEdit and not Word. Word mangles some characters when pasted, like the curly quotes and apostrophe.

Heck, if we extended the editing time, what would be the incentive to improve your spelling? ;)

Re: JD I am probably the worst speller in the world
 

Noooooo!! That's meeeee! You cannot have my medal and/or trophy back! :D

As for spelling, I tried to submit this as a hint but got denied (well it just disappeared into the ether), which is ok, because it's not really a hint.. but it's a secret and I shall share it with you and Craig now.. come closer.. pull my finger.. just kidding..

If using Safari, when entering your/editing your reply, if you right click (or cntl-click for those of you still insisting on using single button mice), a submenu appears with.. SPELLING!!! It uses the Finder-built-in spell checker. This is something that Apple seems to have built into all it's Apple apps. Sadly it doesn't work in IE, but that's the only other browser I've tried it in. Great functionality though.. incredibly helpful to people who cannot spell worth a damn (like meee!!).

Yeah I have seen not tried that feature in SAfari

Create a directory on your Desktop, call it Eudora.orig or something. Move all your Inbox mail to a new mailbox called InboxOld, do the same for your Outbox to OutboxOld, and the same for your Trash (just in case, you never know). (This way, if it works, you won't loose anything from your old settings and it'll be much easier to put your old mailboxes in your new config & transfer the Inbox mail back to your new Inbox). Quit Eudora. Things may vary a bit on how/what your naming scheme is & which version you're up to. But this is where to look and what to look for. Move the following into the Eudora.orig folder:

Shutdown. Wait a moment. Boot. Login. Install Eudora. Config it. Check mail. Send yourself some test mails. Check mail. Check with Mail.app. Are they deleted? Hopefully.. if not, I'm sorry I just made you go thruu this whole rigamorole (yet again) for no reason. If it does work, onto the replacement of stuff from your original (mailboxes, etc).

[official seal of crossed fingers]

[edit: missed one of the .plists/added Trash to list of things to back up to another mailbox]

FYI, Eudora settings are NOT stored in the plist files.

User settings are not stored in the .plist, Eudora settings are stored there. Either way, we're starting BG off with a clean slate (as clean as we can get it).

yellow-

Again, you are incorrect.

Eudora's plist files are stored in the user's directory, thus they are user-specific.

So why would you even bother to notify me that "FYI, Eudora settings are NOT stored in the plist files." Was there a point to that? Eudora setting do happen to be stored there.. Like where Eudora can find it's default attachments folder, and where the default location of the application folder lives. Plus a buncha hexadecimal info that I don't care to read or interpret. Whatever, it's all semantics. The .plists need to be moved also, no matter what their content or where or user-specific or not.

Either way, we're starting BG off with a clean slate (as clean as we can get it).

yellow- again, sorry I don't have time to explain every thing to you. Some things you will just have to work on and learn on your own time.



yellow- again, your idea is invalid and not useful.

Earlier in this thread you demonstrated you did not even know how to use Eudora.

Why do you insist on invalid suggestions, repeatedly, which only serve to test your bogus theories and waste everyone's time?



Reportedly, bengreens performed a good clean re-installation of Eudora already. Both with his original OS X user account, and then in the new OS X user account.

Since Eudora installation in the new OS X user account "works", my previous suggestion is the best solution to reviving correct Eudora behavior in his original OS X account.

[roll eyes] You are so insufferably smug. [/roll eyes]

BG, just do what you want and good luck. Hope your Eudora problems get ironed out under the useful tutelage of the great and knowledgeable Icculus (who wrote the Helping Phriendly Book, dontcha know?).

RE: We have probably Scared away our faithful reader away

I have a question and a thought On B. Machine which should have 2 of everything related to 6.x. now that he has one user where it works and his original user where it does not.

We basically have a choice of moving all these files and or deleting though this risks lost mail/address book (deleting).

On the flip side we could probably copy the Good files to the appropriate user locations. If the example below is still the complete list for (Primary user).

**** There should be a duplicate list for the other user.

NO Matter what Stronly reccomend making a Back up copy of anything B. cares about. If there is no mail or addresses cared about easier to shovel everything
eudora realted into the trash.

B. May have to rely on Find to drill down to these locations as it is easy to get disoriented.

Thanks for reminding me anthlover. Edit on earlier list.

Pleasure
 

RE: Pleasure

So is that list above all of Eudora stuff or did you *** find anymore Eudora stuff to Assasinate....

I am getting closer (sp) :)
---------------------
On A Side Note:)

Course an even bigger problem then spelling is that many words remain in my mind that do not make it to the page and when I read the sentences back my mind puts them back.

It often takes a day/s when re-reading a thread for me notice that I have dropped words.

And Of course if I am at work doing 200 things at once it get worse:)

Later.

I realized that I'd forgotten to suggest a move of the Trash mailbox to a new mailbox in my earlier post, just in case there's something in there that BG wants/needs.
