<u>E-Mail Clients</u>

Backing up all emails

Backing up your Eudora e-mails is as simple as copy-pasting. Find the Eudora folder-its location in Windows 98 is c:\windows\application data\qualcomm\eudora-select all the files with *.mbx, *.pce, *.txt and *.fol extensions. Copy the selected files to a backup storage device. The *.mbx, *.pce and *.fol files relate to e-mails, while *.txt files contain the address book.

Delete e-mail entirely

Eudora, by default, does not delete attachments. To delete both the attachments and the e-mail, go to Tools > Options > Attachments. Select the 'Delete attachments when emptying trash' option. From now on e-mails will be deleted in their entirety.

Drafts

Instead of typing similar e-mail body text for commonly formatted e-mails, such as responses to standard information requests, you can save general layouts of the kinds of e-mail you most frequently send. These are saved as 'Stationery' in Eudora, and are ready to be sent later, with minor last minute changes. To create new 'Stationery', go to Tools > Stationery; a blank window will open up. Right click in this window and select New. In the composition window, fill in as many fields as you wish, and save the stationery. Sending the e-mail is now as simple as double clicking a Stationery item and making last minute changes, if any.

Mail list

Sometimes, people have more than one e-mail address. You can send an e-mail to all a persons addresses, by creating a Mail list. To do this, when you create a user entry in the address book, you see a box stating 'This nickname will expand to the following addresses', just enter as many e-mail addresses as you want and your list is ready.
