Getting Attention options window

Select the options you want to change. Options are described below.

Use an alert dialog box—If this is selected, an alert dialog box notifies you when new

mail is received. You will see the alert dialog box only if Eudora is in the foreground.

Open mailbox—If this is selected, mailboxes are automatically opened when new mail

arrives in them, and the first unread message of the last unread batch of messages is

selected.

Play a sound—If this is selected, a sound is played when Eudora needs attention. To

select a sound (.wav) file, click the long, horizontal button below the “Play a sound” option

(the button is blank by default). Browse until you find your sound file. When the “Select

sound file” dialog box appears, select a sound and click Open.

Generate filter report—If this is selected, a filter report is generated when filters are

used. Filter reports appear in the Filter Report window, accessed from the Tools menu.

Note that this option must be on for such reports to appear in that window.

Note. These notifications can be changed on a per message basis using Filters. See

“Filtering Messages” on page 108. Click the page number to display the topic.

Background Tasks

The Background Tasks allow you to set parameters that determine how background tasks

behave and what kind of information you want to see in the Task Status window. In other

words, you can configure the behavior of background tasks. Also, you can set the Task

Status and/or the Task Error windows to be brought to the front of other windows in

Eudora when activity occurs. See “Task Status Window” on page 151 and “Task Error

Window” on page 152. Click the page number to display the topic.

In the Background Tasks options window, you can indicate the number of seconds of user

inactivity before your newly retrieved mail is actually processed by Eudora. If you have

automatic mail checking set up in the Checking Mail options, Eudora will retrieve the mail
