Please follow these steps and see if you get rid of the error.

In some early releases there was a potential error so make sure that you have a Eudora latest release from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/.

If you have the latest release then please check your system date and time and see if this is updated.

If the date time settings are correct, then make sure that Eudora directories (data and applications) are not set to Read Only. This should be checked for all files and folder/directories under the main directory.

Check there are no files under spool directory. You can use Windows Explorer to open Spool folder

After deleting “EudPriv: folder restarts Eudora and it should work.

After verifying above steps one by one you should have working Eudora with you 🙂

Hello Priscilla,

To resolve the problem that you are getting, you will need to do the following:

• First, you will need to ensure that you are running the latest version of Eudora. If not, you can download the latest version from the  Eudora Download Page.
• You will also need to make sure that your System Date and Time have been set accurately. To do that click on Start > Settings > Control Panel and then open the Date and Time control panel. You will to ensure that the date and time are correct as well as the Time Zone settings for the area you reside in. If you make changes to these settings, you will likely need a reboot of your computer.
• Also, go to your Eudora DATA and APPLICATION directories and ensure that the files and folders are not set to Read Only or Hidden.

Regards,

Carl
