Eudora Light
for Newton
Version 1.0fc1

First Off.....this is free software, and no support is provided. If bugs and suggestions are sent to the addresses below, all efforts will be made to correct the problem. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to the Eudora Light for Newton ! Eudora Light for Newton (ELFN) was designed to extend Eudora's mail capabilities to include the Newton . You have the ability to read mail, reply to, forward, and even create new mail on your Newton. Once you return to your desktop machine, you connect the Newton and all your outgoing mail on the Newton will be transferred to your desktop Eudora and sent. In addition, you can have your desktop machine setup with a modem and then call into your machine using your Newton (this requires a Hayes compatible modem).

Please follow the instructions contained in the User Manual in order to install ELFN.

This version of the software communicates ONLY with the desktop version of Eudora. There is no provision for a direct connection to a POP server. We have to reserve something for the commercial version, don't we...GRIN.

NOTE !!!!!
-------
Eudora Connection will ONLY work with versions of Eudora 1.5.2 or 2.1.2 or earlier.  The current release of Eudora Pro has a bug in the Apple Event handler that prevents the correct creating of mail.  Sorry for the inconvience, a new release of Eudora will be out soon, that corrects this problem. Thank you for your patience. 

We would like you to exercise this program as much as possible and report bugs as soon as possible to us at: newton-eudora-bugs@qualcomm.com. If there is a feature you would like implemented, please send those requests to newton-eudora-suggest@qualcomm.com. Please use these addresses so we know what we must focus on in the next few weeks. 

To support your ease of communicating with us,  choose About (from the info button) in ELFN, you can then click on the appropriate button to have a new message created for you.

Remember, Please direct all questions that aren't bugs or suggestions to: newton-eudora-test@qualcomm.com.

Possible problems:
--------------------
Problem: Newton runs out of memory.
Solution: If you receive the message that the Newton has run out of memory, restarting may fix this, please send in a bug report indicating what you did to come to this point. Also, indicate how many messages were in your mailbox on the Newon. If you run out of storage space, get a larger storage card. (No one said that mail was going to be small!)

Problem: Macintosh complains that the Table of contents is not the correct version.
Solution: Delete the mailbox's TOC file from the finder, and open the mailbox in eudora and allow the rebuilding of the TOC. This should correct this problem.

Problem: Mail in the Eudora Mailbox isn't being marked as read.
Solution: Insure the preferences selection for Marking downloaded mail as read is indeed checked.  Also, if Eudora has the mailbox open...i.e. the In Box...the Table Of Contents (which contains the status info) will be written to disk by Eudora...over writting any changes made by Eudora Connection.

Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.
