ARCHIVED: Using Eudora with IMAP, how do I automatically transfer messages from my server Inbox to my local Eudora mailbox?
Note: If you use Eudora at Indiana University, you must use Eudora 5.1 or later. IU's mail servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in conjunction with the IMAP protocol. Earlier releases of Eudora do not support SSL, while versions prior to 4.3 do not support IMAP.
To create a filter to move all mail from the Inbox on your
IMAP server to the In
folder of the local
Eudora mailbox, follow the appropriate instructions below.
This filter should apply to all messages you receive in your Inbox on
the IMAP server. Each time you check for mail, the filter will be
automatically applied and messages will be moved from the server Inbox
to the In
folder of your Eudora mailbox, which resides on
your computer. The "Transfer To" action used by the filter does not
leave a copy on the server; once the message is transferred, the only
copy of it will be in your Eudora mailbox.
Note: The filter will only exist on the computer on which you created it. When you check your mail from another computer, this filter will not be applied.
