Sharing Eudora
Authored by: timrand on Dec 10, '02 01:35:11PM

I never had to do all this circuitous work to setup my shared Eudora folder. Eudora (back in Mac OS 9 days and earlier) used to store the Eudora Folder in the System Folder. Simply put the Eudora folder there and you don't have to deal with the aliases. However, as of Eudora 5.2, there is a security bug that crops up. It seems that Eudora creates a new maibox called In.Temp and this file creation institutes new ownership for a user. This breaks sharing.

I like the approach outlined here to create a login task which switches the security on the folder. That will work for me so off I go to try to use this technique. Thanks

Sharing Eudora
Authored by: neill on Dec 10, '02 03:05:29PM

Wouldn't it be easier to just set perms on the Eudora folder to
everybody read/write and let each user start Eudora by double clicking
on a personalized Eudora Settings file instead? I do this now so my wife
and I can share the same Eudora mailboxes (along with filters to get
everybody's mail into a personal Inbox). My Eudora folder is on
an ASIP server . . . but as long as it's in /Shared with permissions
for everybody it should work.
