John: I would have to agree with Troy's comments about Thunderbird. I am using it with IMAP on Windows, Linux, and Sun Solaris platforms. The "junk mail" controls are easily configurable, especially if you do not want the SPAM immediately discarded. It takes a little bit of time for the software to "learn" what is SPAM. Doesn't catch it all, but does a pretty good job of catching most of the garbage. Unless your Director absolutely needs to have Eudora, you may want to give Thunderbird a try. It isn't always easy for people to change, but at least there are alternatives available. Jim PS: Probably not a bad time to take look at the Firefox browser instead of IE if you haven't done so already as well. >Are there any happy users of Eudora 6.2 and IMAP at mail.msu.edu ? > >I use Eudora 6.2 with our own IMAP server, but we don't have good spam filtering, and perhaps never will. Our Director needs better spam filtering, so I suggested she get her mail through the main campus server. But she keeps experiencing problems, the latest of which is a folder full of JUNK messages disappearing just before she had a chance to move them to another mailbox. She had verified their presence via webmail just before they disappeared. > >Anyhow, I just now learned about esoteric.epi and eudora.log which I'm hoping we can use to pinpoint these things more precisely. But I'm wondering if there really is a large base of happy Eudora 6.2 users of IMAP at MSU, or if we should not expect it to be trouble-free. Our Director probably stresses the system a little more than some people would. She regularly accesses her mail from two different computers. A week or so ago I suggested that she be very conscious of when her Eudora is fired up on both computers simultaneously, and she has been taking care to avoid that circumstance since then. > >John Gorentz >W.K.
