Latest Additions:
- BoxSweeper by Robert Woodhead will find all e-mail addresses in Eudora mailboxes and add them to the address book. Since Eudora 5.2 allows use of a "whitelist" (so you can filter to a "suspect" mailbox or "trash" [not recommended] any messages not on that list) you can use BoxSweeper to make your whitelist more inclusive of the addresses you want to include.

mailto: and URLs
(sending mailto: URLs to Eudora, and URLs from Eudora 1.x and 2.x)
- Eudora as Netscape's mailto helper
- How do I use Eudora as the mailto: helper in Netscape 4.0.x?
- Internet Config's is generally handy for Mac internet users, as well as letting you register Eudora as the mailto: helper with Microsoft Internet Explorer. (For Eudora 1.x and 2.x, set the Eudora GURL Handler as the mailto: helper in Internet Config; for Eudora 3.x and 4.x, you can set Eudora directly as the mailto: helper).
- Internet Config
comes with ICeTEe and Eudora GURL Handler. Install Internet Config and ICeTEe and you can command-click in Eudora Light 1.x or Eudora Pro 2.x, as well as other programs that use Apple's Text Editing engine. (Eudora 3.x and 4.x have the ability to do this on its own.)
Miscellaneous
- BoxSweeper by Robert Woodhead will find all e-mail addresses in Eudora mailboxes and add them to the address book.

- Email Magician by YAV Interactive Media. "Email Magician is a one-button solution to managing your email. The software automatically creates and helps you organize filters, mailboxes, and nicknames (address book entries) with one click. You can generate hundreds of filters in the time it takes to construct one manually. Email Magician creates mailboxes to go with your new filters, and can also add new nicknames to your address book corresponding to your new mailboxes.
Can export mailboxes to FileMaker ProŠ databases (with a "strip html" option)."
- Eudora archiver by Softobe archives e-mails and attachments for Eudora 4 or 5.
- ObjectSupportLib. If you aren't missing not having this, don't download it.
- Eudora IC Helper copies the URL helpers from Internet Config to your Eudora settings file.
- AutoCorrect Dictionary File. Lobo writes "Simply
download and expand the TidBITS AutoCorrect Dictionary text file,
drop it in your Eudora Spelling Dictionaries folder, and launch
Eudora. From then on, Eudora will automatically fix mistakes
contained in the TidBITS AutoCorrect Dictionary as you type. (And
yes, it will make sure that everyone capitalizes TidBITS correctly
from now on!)."
- Lobo also writes: "The text file itself is easily created, if you want to make your
own. It must start with a line containing only "#LID 1033 0 3" and
go on to list replacement pairs (the misspelled word, a colon, and
then the correction), one set per line. The misspelling must be a
single word, but the correction can contain multiple words, up to
a maximum of about 64 characters. You can't put a return in the
correction text (since that starts a new line) and there may be
other non-kosher characters. Feel free to add or delete words from
your copy of this dictionary - just make sure to save as a text
file when you're done."
Passwords
- KaiMyoo lets you change the password on your POP server like the Eudora "Change Password" command does. In both cases, your server needs to support this feature. If it does not, encourage your ISP or company to install one of the password servers (see immediately below) that Qualcomm makes freely available.
- poppassd is a unix server for the "poppassd" protocol used by the Eudora "Change Password" command.
- poppassd. This site has versions of poppassd as well. Use an FTP client if your browser won't work with this site.
- password servers from Qualcomm.
Signatures
- KlepSig by Scott Kleper is a plugin for Eudora.
- MacSignify by Dave Ward "is an email signature randomizer for use with Eudora. MacSignify creates a randomized signature from four different parts: Your "sign-off statement" (a phrase such as "Sincerely" or "All the best"), your name, a random URL and a random quote. Unlike other email signature randomizers, MacSignify selects the URL and the quote seperately. If you have more than one URL you'd like to use in your signatures, you no longer have to manually rotate them yourself!"
- Yours Randomly is a signature randomiser for Eudora.
User Interface
- Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer 1.1 and Eudora Sound Mover 1.0, both by St. John Morrison. Curmudgeon's Eudora Fixer restores the status icons to letters rather than icons. Eudora Sound Mover can manage the sounds in Eudora. It can add sounds
by either selecting them from a dialog or dragging them into its window;
play the sounds; and delete unwanted ones.
- Status Indicator Toggle is an Apple Script that allows you to toggle between the graphical status indicators in Eudora 4.0 (the little arrows) and the older letter designations.
- Snake/Rooster Alerts will give you colorized snake and rooster alerts (new mail and no new mail) in their own windows; can be used on its own or with Andrew's Colour Eudora Icons. Has complete instructions for changing the alerts to any image you want.
X
-Face Extractor v.9 script will send an X-Face header from a Eudora message to be displayed in Saving Face. Also requires the scripting addition File IO. For now, the script assumes your hard drive is named "Macintosh HD". See also the X-Face FAQ
Eudora Thing 1.6 by Arlo Rose is a System Extension that watches the way the Eudora mail
application draws its text, and when it sees an a quote character (> or :)
it colorizes that line of text. It also weaves around colored text and
URLs (and spelling errors in Eudora 4.1), and can do up to 6 levels of different colors.
Macintosh Disability Shareware and Freeware has links to helpful control panels and extensions.
Mishawaka font is the default Eudora font.
Yours Randomly: Eudora Signature Randomizer, by Golden Micro Solutions Ltd, allows you to create a list of quotes (or general text snippets), and automatically have a random one of these appended to your Eudora email signature file. You can also change your signature manually. Requires 1.1Mb of free RAM, and a minimum of System 7.1.
Slick! lets you change the color of the horizontal and vertical lines used in mailbox displays. Also, if you have changed your background color and Eudora has thus changed the line color automatically, there is a script to change it back.
Sound of Silence by James "Snuey" Allen is a system 7 sound that generates no sound! You can use this if you want to have a New Mail sound OR a Getting Attention sound but not both. Just set the one you don't want a sound for to play Sound of Silence. To install, just drag the sound over your system folder.
New messages sounds. This Eudora plugin has 7 sounds to indicate new mail has arrived. 4 are beeps/alerts. 3 are voices. Drag the sounds onto your system folder and then try them from Eudora Settings under "Getting Attention." (Place the file in the Eudora Folder in the System Folder or the folder where your Eudora application is.)
