Help! I have a mailbox in Eudora that I can't get open. Let me see if I can describe this so it's understandable. If I click on the mailbox on the left hand side an empty box appears on the right. There is a narrow strip at the top like it is the separation between the preview window and the list of e-mails in that mailbox. When I place the cursor over that line I get the double arrows like I can move the line down, but when I move it down it pops right back up to the top. I know I have e-mails in there. There are maybe six in the folder. Well, maybe more now since I haven't read that mail for about a week, but it's usually a fairly quiet list (HTML-HELP). I've looked in the help files but don't know what to call what I'm looking for. I looked for resizing a mailbox and don't see anything. Also, while on the subject of sizing, does anyone know how to make different mailboxes a certain size. They are all different sizes and shapes with varying degrees of the number of e-mails that will appear in the top box when using the preview pane. I have one that only will show me three e-mails at a time and is driving me crazy. I know I can scroll through the list, but it's so much easier to see a larger list. I tried pulling the line down, but when I open the mailbox again it's back to the small size. Thank you, Patty

Go to where your mailboxes are stored: The default is: C:\Program Files\Qualcom\Eudora Then for the mailboxes that you can't open delete the .toc file. DO NOT delete anything that ends in .mbx. Those files are where your actual messages are stored. The .toc files are just a table of contents of what is in the corresponding .mbx file. By deleting that, Eudora will just replace it. But if you do have a corrupted .toc file, it should stop. Try that and let us know if it works. And by the way, you can open up any mailbox (the .mbx files) with your Notepad text editor. And as to the window size, I'm afraid, I've never used the preview pane (with any email program I've ever used), so I can't answer that question. But someone here should know the answers. HTH, Debbie
