When I delete a message that has an attachment, the attached file is not removed from the Attach directory. So my Attach directory is filling up with many files. Is this the way it's supposed to work? If so, how is one expected to manage the Attach/* files. Also, is there a way to save attachments specifically in a different directory (the way you can with MS Outlook)? Thanks in advance, Rod

- 1. Problems with 6.2
Having updated to V6.2 I am having a number of irritating problems. When I double click on a link in and e-mail, which used to take me to a Web page, I now go nowhere. IE opens a page "about blank", same with Firefox. For instance I received an e-mail from Kensington support with a link for the reply, can't reply because the link doesn't work, can't be copied copy is grayed out) If I click on "Send to browser" that doesn't work either. I am also getting frequent requests to register. I have already registered V6.1, but when I click on the "Register Now" button I get a message saying "Thank you for registering." That seems fine for a day or two, then "Please register..." Lastly I have what I assume is the "normal" message list above the pre-view window. Frequently when Eudora starts the message list pane is reduced to nothing and each time has to be re-sized. That's good for a day or so then it's gone again. I am using XP Home/SP2, heaps of disk space and memory. David - 2. 6.2 Complete Failure
For the second time this year (i.e., 2005), on one machine where I've got 6.2 running it has failed completely. First, 6.2 just froze. After shutting it off via cntl-alt-del, whenever I launch it, the program freezes in Address Book. My box is a Dell with Windows XP Pro and SP2. As before, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, to no avail. I've tried uninstalling it, installing 6.1 (from the original download, which I've retained), then installing 6.2 on top of 6.1, also to no avail (this fix worked last time). This last fix included downloading a new copy of 6.2. I've twice tried complete re-boots including unplugging the machine. The initial precipitating thing I noticed was a single message (from a legitimate company -- Thompson-West, a legal publisher, I deal with regularly offering a legitimate service) that froze the entire program. That message is still there and I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave C - 3. Adding Second E-Mail Address To Eudora
Using Eudora 6.2 have second e-mail address that I want to add. Did locate some info on Eudora Help but still can't get this to work. Would appreciate any assistance. Operating system is WinXP

Do you have the option to delete attachments when the trash is emptied selected? If so, then the attachments should be deleted when you empty the messages from the trash. You want to save them all in a different location? If so, just change your setting for the location of your attachment directory. It sounds like you need to check all of your settings at Tools | options | attachments. If you mean you want a way to save attached files to a different place after you've received the messages, you can copy them to another location, but the copy won't be accessible from within the message. To copy an attached file, right-click on the attachment and select "save attachment as". -- Katrina

I have this same problem. I also have selected to delete attachment when deleted from trash. I keep things in trash about a week to 10 days. (For years I've asked the Eudora folks for a feature to delete messages older than N days...) Sometimes the attachments are removed. Sometimes they are not. I don't know the pattern. I had to find "orphaned" attachments by mounting the attachment folder on a UNIX machine and running a script to look for instances of all of the attachments in all mailboxes. I came up with a ton of orphaned attachments (attachments whose mail message was no longer in any message). I wish Qualcomm had a tool to look for such things. Otherwise, there is no way (that I know of) to clean up the attachment folder. Fred

Thanks, Fred. I am on the verge of writing a Perl script to do it.

1.Eudora 5/6: Deleting mail doesn't delete corresponding attachments
Hi, I can't stand it. I upgraded from Eudora 5 to 6 hoping that elementary bugs are out but they aren't :-( I have the problem that always the attachments of received mail stay in my user folder (attachment subdirectory) when I delete the mail (and empty the trash). I do have to go through the attachments folder manually which is a hassle. Any Ideas? I already checked the options but didn' find a real matching option. btw: what are automatic attachments? thanks in advance

4.Eudora Does Not Display Digest Attachments From Listserv
I receive several digests from vairous listservs. The digests consist of a header message and attachments of all the messages forum contributors have posted that day. Even tho I have Eudora set to put text attachments in the body of the message, only a few of the messages in a digest are put in the body. The rest are missing. If I check the option to put attachements in a MIME mailbox, Eudora creates the mail box with all the attachments. However, this is a cumbersome way to read a digest. After I have read the digest and deleted the main message, Eudora still keeps the mailbox it created and all the messages. Eudora is set to trash attachments when Eudora is closed, but it doesn't. So, now I manually delete the mailboxes and the corresponding .toc file. What am I missing?? How do I get Eudora to put all digest attachments in the body of the digest message, as it previously did.?? How do I get Eudora to empty the message, attachments and the Eudora created attachments mailbox and corresponding .toc file when I empty trash and/or closed Eudora?? Thanks for help. FWK
5.Eudora 6.0.1.1 will not open Outlook Express EML attachments
When I click on EML attachments in Eudora I end up with a blank Outlook Express panel -- no subject, no sender identified, no message. Any suggestions how to fix or to do a workaround? I am running XP. Outlook Express works well if set as my default mailer. It sure seems incompaticle with Eudora, however. Thanks
