Do you no longer have a D: drive? If you want better directions to get where you want to go, you have to paint a sharper image of where you now are! > Where do I keep the data? Anywhere _except_ under where program files normally go. A program-launching "shortcut" (which you can even create yourself) may dictate to Eudora exactly what folder to use as the mail "Data" folder (a single folder, containing all mailboxes, settings, address books -- in short, everything that belongs to the user, relating to Eudora mail). Or, you can let the installer suggest a "standard place," described by a phrase such as "user app data," which will turn out to be in your Windows user "profile," and will then be the default place, if a shortcut does not already dictate some other location. --
From: John H Meyers on 4 Nov 2009 21:37 A little light blinked on, and suggested that I add: USE THE INSTALLER to install Eudora! Why? Because most of the people who made a mess with Vista got into that mess by saying "I'm not going to bother actually _installing_ Eudora, because I know better than Windows knows -- I'm just going to put everything exactly where I used to" -- and everything has gone rapidly downhill from there, much as it does to people who think a fuel injector is still the same thing as a carburetor :) --

I have tried everywhere, Documents and settings, C:\ProgramData, C:\ and so on. Nothing works -- Thanks for your time and attention ClueLess
