Eudora.ini File

EUDORA.INI Settings File

The EUDORA.INI file is where Eudora keeps most of the settings. It is a standard Windows INI file, and may be edited with any text editor.

Note. Since Windows caches information from INI files in memory while the program is running, you should never change the EUDORA.INI file while Eudora is in use. If you need to make a change, first quit Eudora, then edit the file, and then restart Eudora.

The EUDORA.INI file is divided into a number of sections, the following of which appears by default:

■[Settings]

■[Mappings]

■[Window Position]

■[Tool Bar]

■[DirectoryServices]

■[Debug]

Optional Sections

The following sections will appear in the INI file only when the appropriate conditions are met or the appropriate items created:

■[Personalities] This section appears only when you have created alternate email accounts (personalities).

■[Stationery] This section appears only when you have created stationery files.

■[Open Windows] This section appears only when there are windows currently open in Eudora.

■[WazooBars] This section appears only when normal Eudora windows are currently open or minimized on the desktop (and thus buttons appear on the Eudora taskbar, which is what this section controls).

■[Recent File List] This section appears only when files have been opened since the most recent Eudora startup.

Note. We strongly urge that you do not change the values in these optional sections of the INI file, and rather make any changes from the interface. For example, personalities can be created and edited from the Personalities window, and stationery can be created and edited from the Stationery window. Both windows are available from the Tools menu.

The values of the settings in each of these optional sections reflect the current values of the objects or conditions; there are no "default" values per se.
