Unreliable with high volumes of email, weak spam guard [Posted on 2003-01-05]
Eudora 3.x and 4.x become unreliable with thousands of emails in the Inbox. The symptom is a message saying that the Inbox table of contents is corrupt, and offering to rebuild. If you say YES you will probably loose all your email permanently! The correct answer is to say no, exit Eudora, then use File Find to locate inbox.toc and delete this file, which will delete the table of contents but not the email. Then Eudora can recover.

Another suggestion that has improved the reliability for me is to have an automatic filter that copies all messages from Inbox into Inboxsafe, which might be slightly less vulnerable to corruption. The last suggestion is to make sure the boxes don't get very full. Don't take vacations :(

Regarding spamguard, there is no spamguard built in to Eudora. I have set up filters that detect and delete common spam, but have not been able to figure out how to automatically forward this spam to spamcop.

"This is the by far worst experience I've had with a software company. Eudora is a buggy and convoluted program and so is the way the company is run. Expect voice mail to hang up on you and email tech support to take 3 weeks. Upon discovering all of this I quickly requested a refund which I've never gotten. They emailed their "return request" form called "letter of destruction" (???) to me at an incorrect email address. Later, they got it right but when I snail mailed the form back to them they lost it and then would not refund me because it was past 30 days. Beware."
