- - Eudora not deleting messages from server (http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=13512)

Hi All,

So I repaired Permissions, ran the fsck, no dice with either one. Then moved all the files Anth listed to the new directory on desktop as suggested, shut down, booted, installed a fresh copy of Eudora. Still have the same problem.

To top it off, somewhere along the way, the new personality I created started having the same problem as the old. (BTW, I didn't give the new one Admin status).

I'm going out of town til next Thursday, but think my next step may be to create yet another personality, and if Eudora functions properly under it, move the settings into my original user folder as Peaved suggested.

till next week,

BG

List is Yellow's I have not used any version of Eudora for 7 years

List is Yellow's I have not used any version of Eudora for 7 years.........

I reposted list as a way of asking if the list was complete.

Sorry the working account stopped functioning.
****New Accounts you create should have Admin, makes life simpler for you/us/testing.

I saw that Peaved also mentioned copying "good" files to bad account. Course untill you create another "working" account there is nothing to move.

*** If Peaved would post his complete list to be moved or deleted/renamed etc. it certainly could not hurt.

*** Anybody have a top list for what happened to good account??

****************I'll Start, and I am just wild Ass guessin...

1) Virus
2) Eudora does not like B. (Kidding:)
3) Limited permisions interphering with proper operations
4) Multiple Mail Applications open on same/different computer for same Earthlink account open at the same time?? Perhaps this confuses Earthlink server or settings.
5) B. You should Delete broken new user. Assuming you have no files you need from its enviroment.
6) We need to give you a good ls command with Eudora in it so we can "See"
what your moving, deleting etc. with your dir structure

My wife swears this #4 happens with her mail "always thought Nah"

In any case could not hurt to be through in only having one mail client open at a time.

Tune in same Bat Channel same Bat time for the Exciting Conclusion...

Have a great vacation away from the foolishness of ignored POP3 DELs!
