Eudora slowing down

#1 08-16-2008, 12:10 PM

Typing email in Eudora is slowing down and becoming tedious. I've looked
over FAQ's about this with no help, e.g. closing mail boxes and limiting
spell check. Wonder if I'm overlooking anything? Help would be appreciated.

Try:
Turn off the automatic spell checker by selecting
Tools | Options | Spell Checking and checking "only when requested"

Typing is delayed inside message

Thanks. I had seen that but left it on. Now turned off.
I'm a terrible speller but wonder why spell check is any different in TB
news reader and Eudora.

I can also be resource issue when your IN, OUT and TRASH mailboxes
get too large.

Thanks, again, now its much better after applying the control, shift,
tools option outlined in url. It says it reset my setting files.
Restored to what I would call original state. There must have been some
background processes running that were hogging memory as I always keep
active mailboxes to a minimum.
