by jlippincott / July 17, 2006 5:53 AM PDT

The last update of Zone Alarm caused the below problem to my Eudora mailboxs. I have now removed the Zone Alarm firewall and installed the trial version of the Outpost firewall how do I go about fixing my Eudora mailboxs?

How do I go up fixing my in.toc, out.toc, in.mbx and out mbx????
I currently an In.toc, and Out.toc, In.mbx, out. mbx and a .001 and .002 for each of those as well (in.toc.001, in.mbx.001 etc).

What I wouldsuggest...

would be to copy all to another location (while Eudora is CLOSED of course) then in the original location DELETE these:
In.toc
Out.toc
In.mbx
out.mbx

Then RENAME these:
in.toc.001 to in.toc by deleting the .001
in.mbx.001 to in.mbx by deleting the .001
etc.

Then open Eudora and see if all is back to normal. If not you have lost nothing as you copied all to that other location and can restore at will.

Ask Qualcomm

They may well have some sort of repair tool for mailboxes created by their program. Though I must say you fail to specify what the problem is exactly. All I see is a complaint about having an excess of backup copies of mailbox folders. Aside from a little wasted disk space, they're completely harmless.

The last update of Zone Alarm Pro caused this problem with Eudora and many other problems (visit the Zone Alarm Forum). Qualcomm or the Eudora forum havn't been much help with this matter.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
