installing Eudora on 64 bit Win7

First things first, does having w7-64 bit change any Eudora
installation instructions I'd find on the internet for w7-32? I
haven't seen any mentions about 64 bits being different yet.
I have been using Eudora practically forever, so I have several copied
versions of it from XP and Win7 on my portable hard drive and the good
news is that although I didn't know diddly about w7 when I set it up a
year ago, at least I got Eudora to work.
After reformatting my computer, I wanted to put it into the correct
place this time around but it seems like I am not doing very well. I
followed instructions I found at Microsoft to "Start in"
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\Eudora but I don't know
what to do about "Target". The one that's showing in the Target box
<F:\25THAU~1\Eudora\eudora.exe> is on my portable hard drive, but I've
installed a brand new copy of Eudora on the computer because I know I
f'd it up when I installed it last year. Eudora worked (I could send
and receive) but I could only select two email addresses at a time to
send email to.
After I get that problem figured out, I need to find where the data
file is located because a simple search for "data" mostly doesn't find
anything, although I finally found some "read me" files in an old copy
(probably what had been installed on XP).
So, first step... what do I do about this "Target" issue? Please keep
it as simple as possible, I'm barely literate in computer speak. TIA

So it's the path with update\qualcomm\Eudora?
I installed Eudora on my desktop... but I think w7 put it somewhere
else, so I if I find it, can delete it from my desktop? I wish I had
somebody at my beck & call who knows more than I do about this stuff,
but I don't.

I did respond to a prompt (which surprised me because I am the
administrator and sole user of this computer). I did a search and
Eudora is only located on my desktop at the moment, so I need to put
it somewhere. Any suggestions?

I tried that path in Target but Eudora says it's not valid. How do I
create the file or folder that's needed in Program Files (x86), drag
and drop?
Right now, I can open Eudora with <F:\25THAU~1\Eudora\eudora.exe> in
"Target" and <C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\Eudora> as
Start In, even when my portable HD is unplugged. However no matter if
the portable HD is connected or not, but I can't get Eudora to
download my email from the server (which I postponed initially). The
revolving yin/yang symbol does not appear when I tell it to "get mail"
although I can send an email (no problem) and it is where it needs to
be when I check. Weird. I must have messed up a setting somewhere,
but what? I suspect if I put something into the Program Files (x86),
I'll have better luck.
Thanks for your patience.

It's in a folder on my desktop. It's also in a folder under appdata
(finally found where/how to make extensions and hidden files show).

I know it's something easier than that and I'm not competent enough to
mess around with the registry anyway.
As far as other settings - I've changed Secure Sockets when Receiving
to never, but I know I've messed up my incoming mail somehow or else
I'd be able to retreive email. My incoming mail server is set for
mail.comcast.net. Not sure what else I should be checking. Thanks.

First the option for properties is grayed out on right click dominate
personality and now the "forget" passwords is grayed out. I wonder if
I should just delete this copy of Eudora and start over again. Is
there some way to retrieve my settings from a copy of Eudora on my
portable HD? This is getting discouraging. I'm the only user of this
computer and I'm the administrator. Where should I tell Eudora to
install the program if I uninstall and reinstall? TIA

clicked. Down at the bottom of the Generic Properties tab was an
unchecked box for Check Mail. I put a check in the box and "voil�" -
it works now! Glad that was the problem. I knew it had to be dead
simple (because all of my problems are), but I was about to give up
because I couldn't figure it out. I just finished copying email from
the server (had the box checked to leave it on there too). So, I'm a
happy camper. Now all that's left is to rebuild my email address
book.
Oh, while I'm still here. My data directory is in
c:users\myname\appdata\roaming\qualcomm\eudora but the application is
sitting on the desktop. Can I move the application somewhere else
without messing anything up?

I have a folder called Eudora with 62 items in it sitting on my
desktop and one of them is eudora.exe. Eudora.ini is in the folder
that's in Roaming. That's all I know and that's why I shouldn't be
messing around with the registry. If I knew how you copied the names
of all those files, I'd copy the contents of the one on my desktop and
show you what's in it, but I don't know how - so I can't do it.
In any case, I don't particularly care what the folder is called -
what do I do with the darned thing? Can I delete it or do I have to
move it somewhere?

Okay - so if I uninstall Eudora via the uninstall a program in Control
Panel, I'm not going to lose my settings? Why shouldn't I just drag
and drop the folder that's on my desktop into Program Files (x86)?
