I'm using 7.0.1.0 in paid mode, but I've been having a really
annoying problem with Eudora forgetting my one IMAP account's password
every time I start a session.

I've checked this from multiple angles and can't find anything
to fix. It just started happening pretty much out of the blue (nothing
happens out of the blue, but suffice it to say this shouldn't be
happening).

It occurred to me today that if I installed the final paid
mode version, which in its release notes is supposed to offer better
IMAP handling, I might bulldozer away my problem.

But will it insist on my buying a paid registration? I mean, I
don't even know if there's anyone to pay anymore.

Thanks for any advice. DGI

Nope.

I'm in contact with the sysadmin and he's fairly certain
nothing's changed on his side (or rather, he's completely certain and
I'm fairly confident about his abilities)

I have thus far not approached that. I suspect I won't grasp
its entire meaning, but I'll check it.

The IMAP account connects to a different network entirely. My
ISP's POP service is failure-free.

I've d/l'ed it and will give it a try.

Thanks again, DGI

Some are barely ever heard from, except when the opportunity arises
to employ "keygens" to post registration codes for new names,
at which time they appear quite promptly, suggesting that
they were in fact "lurking" much of the rest of the time:

"To lurk is to lie in wait for someone or to hide about a place,
often without motion, for periods of time." [dictionary.com]

Exactly -- they pop up immediately after a "how do I get
a registration code" inquiry, and otherwise generally fade
into another dimension, like a Cheshire Cat :)

A problem, as in Physics, to support any assertion
of the existence of purely "unmanifest" bodies, is that
if they never radiate any visible energy at all,
then how could you even prove that they exist? :)

Just subpoena the ISP's records <grin>.
