This used to work fine together. I used to be able to telnet in and use
Pine to send and view my email. Then I would go home and use Eudora and
download my email. I have Eudora configured to not delete the mail from
the server. The two used to work fine like that. The server also has Open
Webmail installed. It had been about 6 months since I had used open
Webmail before last week. Open Webmail lets you use your browser to check
your email.
Last week I went into Open Webmail to view my email and it asked for my
preferences (first name, last name, etc) as if it were the first time I
logged in. (Keep in mind I have used Open Webmail before on that server
and I was surprised when it asked me for that information again) When I
got passed that initial part, it said I had no new mail. And I knew I had
a lot of email on the server. Going into Pine I could see all of my unread
email. But Open Webmail said I had no email.
Ever since then, Eudora will not download any email that I view with Pine
first. If I use Pine, and see I have 20 messages and I only look at one,
then I close Pine. I go home and open Eudora, and Eudora says I have no
new mail. If I get new email after I have closed Pine, then Eudora will
see it and download it.
I noticed something new in my home directory after incident with Open
Webmail.

Fear of losing all my email, I haven't been brave enough to "take a bash at
it" and start deleting things. Yes it was Dec 4 when I logged in with Open
Webmail.
I was hoping someone here might know how I can fix this. Im ready to
delete my user and home directory and re-create my account. I would rather
understand what happened and how to fix it. And yes I have tried to figure
it out and I have researched it. I am getting frustrated.
Thanks,
Tonya
