Long list of mailboxes truncated

[Old.Professor]

I have several mailbox folders that contain many mailboxes. When I
want to transfer a message most of these long ones open a window that
extends the full hight of the screen with a scroll arrow at top and
bottom. I just discovered that one mailbox folder is working
differently and not showing all the mailboxes. Is there a way to
correct this.

The unwanted behavior is not taking the full height of the screen, not
showing scroll arrows, showing two columns, and not showing all the
mailboxes in the first column.

I'm using Eudora 6.1.2.0 on XP Pro SP3.

First, your version of Eudora is more than five years old,
has numerous things that have since been updated,
and the first thing that Qualcomm always recommended,
for all problems, was to update to the latest version,
available at http://eudora.com/download/ (version 7.1)

Next, you seem to be describing the action of the Transfer menu
(by the way, is it the same in the Mailbox menu?)

I would therefore suggest that the list of mailboxes you see
in that menu be compared with the list of mailboxes
that you see in the Mailboxes window (Tools | Mailboxes).

If more mailboxes appear in the latter, which ones
do not appear in the former? E.g. is it all those
after some point in the alphabetical list?

Meanwhile, you can use the Mailboxes window to do transfers.

Copying, for future reference, from
"Transfer menu doesn't show all mailboxes"
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1661hq.html

Windows has a limit on the number of entries
you can have in a drop down or pop-up menu.
If you create too many mailboxes and folders at one level,
you will exceed this limitation and cause the menu to behave strangely.
To remedy this, organize your mailboxes into folders and subfolders
so that you don't have too many mailboxes and folders at any one level.

To create a folder click on the Mailbox menu item and select New.
Give the folder a name and check the box for Make it a folder.
You can now create a mailbox inside this folder
and move existing mailboxes into this folder.

To move a mailbox, use the mailboxes window
on the left side of your Eudora window [Tools | Mailboxes].
Click on your mailbox and drag it to the folder.
When you let go, the mailbox will be moved into the folder
(if you have any filters associated with this mailbox,
Eudora will prompt you about updating them).

If you are running Windows 98, 2000, Me or XP, and Eudora 4.3 or higher,
copy and paste the following text into a new message in Eudora.

<x-eudora-option:Wrapmenus=0>

The text you paste will show up in blue as a URL.
Hold down the ALT key and click on it - a window will appear
asking you to click OK. Click OK on the resulting dialog box.
Now exit, then relaunch Eudora. The formerly long menu
will now have a scroll arrow at the top and bottom,
allowing you to scroll through the menu.
