Hi, I need to install Eudora 7.1 but on the new laptop with Windows 10
but it is impossible.
I get this panel. I attach a photo:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/373nkeepzxqrq1w/Cattura%20Eudora.JPG?dl=0
I put the "Change Account Control Settings" slider all the way down
(so it's disabled) but I always get the same problem. Unable to
install Eudora.
Is there a possibility to be able to do this?
Thank you for some info.

administrator rights when you try to install it. Right-click
on the .exe file and choose "Run as administrator" ("Esseguire
come amministatore", I guess).
And after installation, set Eudora as the default mail program
*via the control panel*.
And next time use Google Translate to translate Italian text
into English before asking questions.

On the panel I read:
The App has been blocked for security purposes .
Running the App. blocked by the Administrator.
For more information contact the Administrator.

I installed Eudora maybe 2 years ago on my new pc with Win10 pre-installed.

Under the special and only account that has administrator rights. Didn't
run into any problem. All other users on my pc have limited rights only.
That, plus the fact that I consider mailer, browser, etc. profiles to be
*user* data that don't belong on the system partition, was reason to copy
the Eudora profile to the resp. user sections on a non-system partition.
Works like a charm for all of them.

Allora non sei l'amministratore.
Il computer č tuo? Controlla meglio l'account che stai usando.
Altrimenti se la risposta č no, chiedi al tuo sysadmin.
La risposta migliore comunque resta buttare nel cesso Winshit 10.
Ultima soluzione, fai come me: Eudora funziona benissimo anche
installata su un disco fisso esterno, in questo modo me la porto
sempre dietro, con tutte le mie cartelle di posta, ovunque da oltre 20
anni, su ogni computer con qualsiasi versione di Windows.

Ma quando a volte mi compare questo pannello:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rhib1j73aimwet0/CatturaEUDORA.JPG?dl=0
sono sempre costretto ad installare di nuovo e sopra il vecchio
Eudora. Que problema sparisce.
In vari anni mi è successo 2-3 volte.
Sembra che non riesca a scrivere sul file .ini.

I have copied / pasted all of Eudora to another laptop. All emails
work fine but not yahoo.com
On the main PC I had deleted the yahoo account with Thunderbird and
then I had created it again.
All this is strange because on the main PC the account with yahoo.com
works fine, but not on the second computer.
Why? Yet in the second computer Eudora is perfectly the same as the
main PC. How can I solve the problem?
Thank you

There's no fundamental problem installing and using Eudora on Windows 10, I am and I know many others are too.
Are you logged on to Windows 10 as an administrator?
That's the only other thing I can think of which might have caused the error message you were getting, your user account didn't have the necessary rights.

administrator account and by trying to install it with the right mouse
button on the file as administrator. But both options are unmanaged.
Eudora is strange.
Another thing I can't solve is that on the second computer Eudora
doesn't download emails with yahoo.com account.
On the first computer it downloads them fine but on the second
computer it has problems with the server: SERVER ERROR ..
YET I have copied all Eudora folders and respective files from the
first computer to the second computer. But I get this problem.

If you click on "last SSL info" it should show that it attempted a connection using TLSv1.2.
If it still says TLSv1 the Hermes patch isn't doing its job.
The only thing left is that you may well need to generate an "application specific password" for that installation.
Did you do that for the other computer that's working?
You need to go to the Yahoo webmail page with your browser, log in and look at your settings, and look in the security section.
In there, there should be an option to generate a password for what they consider now to be an insecure client.
When you've got the password (it will be four blocks of four numbers) you will need to use it in Eudora instead of your normal password.

The trick to installing Eudora on Win10 is, to put it into its own folder in the root directory instead of program files. C:\\Eudora
Run setup as administrator.
Win10 will want to put email files and attachments in its user directories, so you have to find them and move them to the C:\\Eudora folder, and I think you need to edit the eudora.ini file to point to the moved directories.
I do not recall all the details, I found the instructions online but it was a year or two ago.
