Eudora Resources/Memory Issues
Document ID: 1505HQ
Issue:
Eudora is taking up a large amount of free system resources OR Eudora is
getting slower and slower the more I use it.
Solution:
Check the following-
1) How large are your IN, OUT, and TRASH mailboxes? These three mailboxes
are loaded into memory when Eudora is running, so if they're large, they
can eat
RAM. Keep them small, preferably under 1MB in size each. Transfer old
messages from these mailboxes to other mailboxes.
2) How many Quick Recipients do you have? Those are the listings in the
pop-up menu under "New Message To". Every entry in pop-up menus uses RAM as
well.
Remove them from the Address Book.
3) How many windows do you have open in Eudora? If you have a lot of
windows, each window takes up a bit of system resources. Press CTRL + SHIFT
+ W. That
will close all windows in Eudora.
4) Try going to Tools: Options: Viewing Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft
Viewer".
5) Try going to Tools: Options: Moodwatch: and turn off Moodwatch checking
in background.
6) Lastly, if you've tried all the above and Eudora is still using a lot of
system resources, try this. Hold down the keys CTRL and SHIFT, then with these
keys held down, go to Tools: Options. It will ask you to reset your
settings file - say yes and see if the problems continue with a new
settings file.
