retrieving one mailbox for all xp users

[teunspaans]

I just installed eudora6 on the wxp pro pc of our family.

During installation Eudora presented me with the option to enter a data directory. It suggested something like c:\document and settings\MyUser\..., but I changed that into c:\program files\eudora\data. Eudora asked if it should create this dir for me, I said Yes and it did.

On wxp, every member of our family has his/her own account. But we would like to share our mail, but despite the above installation settings eudora leaves the data dir empty, and our family members can not see just their own mail. Nice if everyone would have his/her own mailaccount on our prvider, but we opted to keep things centralized.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Or should we go back to eudora 4.3?

Have a look at the properties for the Eudora shortcut, and make sure it specifies the data file path after the shortcut, thus:

"C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\Eudora Mail\Eudora.Exe" "c:\program files\eudora\data"

Then, when the shortcut is run, each uses the same settings and data files, and the data remains the same between different logins.
