Eudora Tips and Tricks

Qualcomm's Eudora 4.3 is now available. If you are a 4.x user, you can get update for FREE at: http://www.eudora.com/pro_email/updaters.html

o Did you know that you can schedule outgoing messages for later delivery. To use this feature just hold down Shift key as you click "send" or "queue" on your outgoing message. A box will pop up asking you when you want to send message. This is a great feature for sending reminders to friends, family and even yourself! I use it all time, as a matter of fact I just sent a scheduled message that will arrive a few days before my next anniversary. (Fellas; maybe you should do same!)

o Need to move Eudora from one computer to another and save all your old mailboxes AND messages? Just save .toc and .mbx files and copy them to same directory in your new computer. Next time you reopen Eudora, bingo, all your old messages are there!

o If you ever have need to get your email from a remote location but won't have access to a computer with Eudora, just grab a free web email account from Eudora at www.eudoramail.com before you go. You'll be able to send and receive email right through browser of any computer with Internet access.

It worries me that some people doing business online are afraid to identify themselves fully or even partially in some cases. It worries me that some people will surf up to that site and other sites like it, read it, like it, charge a considerable amount of money to their credit card and they don't know anything about company.

It also bothers me that people try to market products by email without identifying themselves (other than their email address and sometimes that is false) and expect to be successful. It reminds me of when I used to do a lot of snail mailings and response mailings would be very similar. No return address, no name and address inside envelope other than promotion company's address and an ID number on a circular. I know a lot of you have gotten those! And in most cases they went right in circular file. Well now you have a button that you can use to put them in circular file!

The company you should want to deal with is one that makes full disclosure of who they are, has a privacy statement that spells out what they are going to do or not do with your personal information, and provides accurate information about their products and services. You don't want to deal with someone who appears to be hiding behind a web page, they may be here today but gone tomorrow!

Do you use "Yours truly, Anonymous" as your signature file?
