! Eudora 7.0 and 7.1 timing out when downloading email?
IAM...IAAM
check six of them Ok, and there are always two of them that time out.
I then have to go back and check mail one at a time to get them to
work properly.
The accounts that fail change every time I check email. There are
always just two that fail. No more, or no less?
I was hoping that when I downloaded 7.1 last night that the problem
would go away, but it hasn't. What give with this situazione?
The error message I received just now when I checked said this:
fulfillment, Connecting to the mail server....[03:55:38pm]
could not connect to "pop.charter.net" Cause: connection timed out
(10060)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mlm=guru, Connecting to the mail server....[03:55:38pm]

And so it goes? :-(

I have no problem with fetching 8. Usually when it times out MANY of
them time out. But that's rare. I have 8 accounts on 4 servers.

If you can't figure out how to unmunge my

the same two each time.
Makes me want to grab my head and holler "Good grief Charlie Brown!"
I've never had that problem with Eudora until version 7. :-(
It didn't do it when I first downloaded version seven either.
A setting someplace must be off by a scosh?

Now it is where it is supposed to be. I changed the setting from 10 to
six and then closed out Eudora.
When I restarted it and checked mail, this time it only refused to
check one account instead of two. So now I will lower it to five? Now
it has one again refused to check two of them. I guess I will just
have to try all ten settings until I find one that works. :-(

I have had it set at 2 for the last few hours. I changed the check
mail time from 90 minutes down to 10 minutes. I get over a thousand
pieces of mail a day counting junk mail which I scan looking for more
effective ways of advertising. At the "2" setting it has worked
perfectly. Around 1730 I upped it to three and it is still working
fine so far.
BTW, a Charter rep told me a few weeks ago that they had been having a
problem for a long time that caused that to happen. He said he had the
same problem with his computer and email program. He said they were
still trying to fix the problem.
A couple of nights ago I checked with them again and the fellow who
answered said that as far as he could see with the notes that there
were no problems like that. He said they were all resolved quite some
time ago. I tend to think that this tech of a few nights ago was
lying, and the one from a few weeks ago was telling me the truth.
What is the difference between it being set at "1" or "10"?

Funny I did this and restarted but don't see any extra category (I do
remember seeing this on some earlier version of Eudora, years ago).

After experimenting all evening, I have found that set at "3" it
checks the eight accounts fine with no timeouts.
When I go above that I get two timeouts.
So I guess I will leave it a "3". I don't see any decrease in speed,
or other operation.
I'll check with the techs in a couple of weeks to see if they have
fixed their problems. I think I will mosey on over to "dslreports.com"
right now and look for myself to see if anyone else using Charter is
reporting this problem.
Thanks for telling me how to install the "threaded" stuff.
I'm not sure why I don't have a "eudora.ini" but things seem to run
fine in this "PAID" version just the same.

You have a copy of eudora.ini whether you can find it or not. Eudora won't
run without it, and if Eudora remembers your settings for checking mail,
it has to be getting saved from one session of Eudora to the next. Most
likely, it is in your data directory. You can find the location of your
data directory by looking at Help | About Eudora. Both the program and
data directories are listed there in newer versions of Eudora.

In another post, Dennis asked for just certain specific
lines of Eudora.ini, and not all of it; in the above,
Katrina was simply explaining to the same person
(which appeared to be someone other than you)
where to find the file he said he didn't even have, but in no case
did anyone ask you or anyone else to post all of Eudora.ini
You misinterpreted, that's all,
and then several people tried quickly to help you
to avoid any accidentally self-created problem,
would be happy to hear that you received the notes,
and know that you are now armed with information
to be aware of the security issue.

tousing 7.1.0.9
I'm finished looking through spool directory and I didn't find any
"RCV" files.
I am stunned though when I checked my "attachments" directory and
found 3300 plus files that are JPG and WMV files totalling over 500mb
I don't save anything to that file so I don't know how they got there.
They are all sort of things.
One of them was a little baby sitting in an airplane seat. He was
sucking his teething rubber and looking at a pretty woman with large
breasts. When she saw the baby admiring her, she closed her sweater.
The baby spat out his rubber thingie and started crying loudly. :-)
Maybe the problem is in this directory?
504MB is a huge amount of data to be in an email directory isn't it?

I deleted the 504mb from the attachment directory. Then I deleteted
over 4mn from the embedded directory.
It is still timing out on two accounts everytime I check mail.
At least Eudora is much lighter now that it was an hour ago.
So the hunt gor the time out problem continues.

Those are the attachments that come wit your email (whether you want
them or not :/ ). You have your settings set to NOT delete the
attachments when deleting mail (the safe way to prevent losing those
pictures and files you wanted, but forgot to save elsewhere). The down
side is you need to clean house frequently.
Knowledge
There was definitely some interesting TV commercials stored there. I
saved those and deleted the rest. Now I know what it is for, and will
monitor it closely.
I just set the threading option to "1" closed out Eudora and restarted
it. It checked all eight accounts with no errors.
So I will leave it that way for the rest of the day. If I don't have
any more problems, I will move it to "2" tomorrow, and keep increasing
it until the errors start and then jack off.

Indeed. *Far* too much information!
Ann
Knowledge
I just saw what I had said in this moment, several weeks later as I
was about to post another question. Talk about a real Freudian slip!
:-)
I think I mean to say "back off" you know raise it until It starts
timing out and then "back off" to where they stop and leave it there.
There seems to definitely be two. Perhaps my seven year old 600MB
pentium3 is just not faster enough to keep up with Eudora at the
maximum threading setting?
Anyway, I didn't mean to offend anyone with that comment.
What the hell! It's than getting congress to approve another 50
billion so I can give the orders to drop bunker busters, and other
weapons of mass destruction on babies, children, pregnant women and
other innocents right?
As the wise people in my generation said, "Fare L.amore! Non la
guerra!"
Knowledge
I don't know what Eudora is doing inside my computer. However instead
of moving the threading option from ten down to one trying to stop it
from timing out without much luck, I decided to set it at 250. It took
the setting Ok without saying that I had entered a number to high.
So I closed it and reopened it OK. It checked mail quickly and without
error. Then later on I dropped the setting down to 100. It continued
to work fine. So I changed it to 50, closed it out and opened it back
up. It checked mail fine the next few hours. Now I have backed off
again to "25". So far it has been working perfectly at that setting. I
may leave it there.
It could be that Eudora was trying to do many more things behind the
scenes at once then I realized. So perhaps more is better instead of
less.
C'est la vie~
I once lined up 10 women and bet $1,000.00 that I could quickly take
care of them all.
I went through 8 and my testicles turned blue.
I backed off, _acked off, and then I turned out the other two.
I've often said that before I died, there were five more things I'd
like to ride:
Unicycle, Bicycle, tricycle, Bow-legged woman and a Ferris wheel.
I have also said that before I died There were two more drinks I'd
like to try.
"Well, tell me, Knowledge, what can they be?" "A cup of coffee, and a
cup of tea."
I was stopped on the side of the road 'bout half past two. I urinated
in the radiator and the engine blew.
My friend, the passenger, drowned in a yellow stream. For miles around
you could hear him scream.
So, as you can plainly see, the folks on "comp.mail.eudora.ms.windows"
have nothing on me. :-))

Happy New Year!!
Well,
I grew tired of trying to fix this problem. so I just lived with it
for a few months, but it is still as annoying as ever.
So I'm ready to try again to fix it. anyone have any new ideas now?
The odd thing is that on my computer just to my right I have version
7.1 and it works perfectly. This computer is about eight years old,
and doesn't have as much ram, but I have never had any problems at all
running Eudora 7.1?

Imhotep,
I have two Eudora accounts installed on my computer. I only use one of
them, but when I delete the one I don't use, the one that works stops
working. I can't get it to go past the square screen that we see on
startup.
Could having two copies installed be what is causing most of my
accounts to time out every time I check mail?
