    1. Re: [EUDORA] THIS IS NOT A VIRUS

    3. Thanks, Debbie, I wasn't implying that Eudora was a virus, but rather that maybe the same thing was happening on this list as did to another perfectly valid and reliable list(VIRUS-DISCUSSION-D@rootsweb.com ) where someone had a virus and when you got a response from her, it passed back and forth to others as they communicated to each other who had got her infected response. The way it spread was using the same subject which the original inquirer (me) had sent to the list. That's why I, when I saw several people writing to me at the same time, and one had some funny 'squiggles' in the Subject line, I became wary....not wanting to go through the clean up process as I did before. Yes, I have been using Outlook Express for a long time, (came on my computer) but a techie installed Eudora and said it was better. I want to transfer over, soon as I can save my old OE folders' contents somehow. My problem is, I haven't been able to send out email with Eudora, because my old address listed there 'joanarc10@home.com is not longer applicable, and that's what was used in the initial setup of Eudora. A couple from this list have given me ideas on how to rectify it, and I am still trying. Please do not take me off the list....I know how to unsubscribe should I want to.

Assuming you have only one personality (probably "Default"), edit it and change your old address from whatever it is to the new address. You'll need to know exactly what the address is for the "SMTP Server" and the "Incoming Mail Server". You'll also need to go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, GETTING STARTED, and change your email address, as well as the info for Incoming and Outgoing Servers. Let me know if you have questions.
