Hi,
I was doing some testing/learning about the Eudora 3.0.2 installer,
and I ran into what I believe is a problem.
I was on a PM 7100 in the Training Lab, I checked to make sure that
there were no files relating to Eudora on the computer, none with that
name in it, nothing in the system folder, and i threw away kclient &
kerberos client preferences. I then ran the Eudora installer. It did the
install just fine, no problems, but it never did the part at the end where
it sets up some of the settings for the user. It never prompted me for my
name or username or anything. I then ran Eudora, and I had to go into
settings and put those all in myself. The POP account and everything was
blank.
I got the installer from
net-dist/mit/macos7/email/eudora/test/
The program ran just fine once it was installed.
I have some questions about the options under settings.
Things where I know that they are optional, but I'm wondering what the IS
perspective is on them (so I can inform the consultants). These include
stuff like: "Overlap POP3 commands for better performance"
The manual indicates that this could be hard on your server.
Where would be the best place to address those questions? the eudora
mailing list?
thanks,
alicia
