My Win 8 machine is having convulsions and I figured it is time to get a ne w one.
I'm moving Eudora over to a Win 10 machine and I am getting a strange error message,
"Can't start Eudora the first time with attachments
Please start Eudora by double clicking the icon or by the command line"
I'm not even sure what this means. What attachments are there for Eudora? I'm pretty sure I don't have any. I'm guessing it is not finding the .ini file?
Win 10 sets up a bit differently than any other windows I've used. It aske d me to set up an email account then used that as my user name. So the user name is not the same between the two machines. I had to edit the deudora.ini file line from this
DataFolder=C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Eudora
to
DataFolder=C:\Users\ColdW\AppData\Eudora
But that's where all the mail folders are, so it should be right.
I'm not sure what else there is to change. Any clues?
I'm wondering if this is an issue with Windows faking out the location of r ead/write data files when installed in the Program Files directory? That's why there is a deudora.ini file. That is read to find the location of the eudora.ini file which is where all the real info is stored. Could Windows be messing with this and not showing Eudora *any* .ini file so it thinks i t is starting cold?
