Eudora User Manual

 

 

Deleting a Message from the Server

To delete a message that has been left on the server (without retrieving it again), click the Trash button in the message toolbar or set the message summary’s server status to Delete, then check mail again. Or use the “Delete all messages that have been retrieved” option in the Mail Transfer Options dialog box as described in “Checking for Mail with Special Server Instructions” on page 57.

Skipping Messages Over a Certain Size

To stop Eudora from transferring incoming messages that are too large, select the “Skip messages over _ K in size” option in the Incoming Mail options window, and specify a size. Only the first few lines of the messages that exceed that size are transferred, with a note at the bottom stating that the whole message has not been transferred. See “Incoming Mail” on page 200. Click the page number to display the topic.

Note. The “Skip messages over _ K in size” option can also be set for each personality you have. To do this, use the Account Settings dialog box, accessed from the Personali- ties window.

If you decide you want to transfer the whole message, click on the Fetch button in the incoming message window, or select the Fetch server status in the message summary, then check mail again. Also, you can use the Trash button or the “Fetch then Delete” server status so that the message is deleted from the server after it is transferred.

If you decide you don’t want the message and want to delete it from the server, click the Trash button in the incoming message window, or select the “Delete server status” in the message summary, then check mail again. The message will be deleted from the server without ever being retrieved.
