  • Next Unread

    From Jess Fertudei@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 3 16:26:51 2021
    v. 7.1.0.9 light

    I use this for a list that is *very* active during the covid. When
    reading a large number of mails, some of them long and detailed, every
    time a new mail arrives Eudora jumps to the next unread message. Often,
    I have skimmed through the mail and left the more complex stuff for
    after making sure I have the other stuff covered and this jumping
    around causes too much slow down.

    I thought there was a tick for 'next unread message', but I'll be
    hanged if I can find it. I do not remember having this issue back when
    that list was very active in the old days. How do I stop this??

    TIA

    Closest I've found is Tools/Options/Viewing Mail/
    [x] Automatically open next message

    Tools/Options/Mailboxes
    [x] Select newly inserted messages

    Hmmm, could your sort order in the message list pane be affecting the way it determines "next unread"? (I've been using Pandora for two years
    now). If date/time is primary sort, new messages should appear at the
    bottom of the list, not interspersed with possibly read messages.

    I'm not sure what the problem is. Are you saying you read the messages in the preview pane and it automatically sets that message to "read" so when another message comes in it jumps to the next unread? I don't know of a setting for that, but you could
    change the status of the message you are reading to "unread". Then maybe it won't jump when new email comes in?

    It is a sometimes very busy list, and if I don't check it for a day or
    so I may get as many as 75 emails. I scroll through and cherrypick a
    few that need read asap and then go back through the others as I can.
    So, yes, there are reads and unreads mixed together when sorted by
    date.
    I looked at your suggestions and knew I had looked at those already but
    since someone else thought that may be the issue, I decided to revisit
    them... sure enough they were already unchecked. Hmmmm... the reader
    does seem to have learned some other new tricks lately so I ticked both
    of those and OK'd my way out of them and then closed Eudora, reopened
    it and then unticked them and then closed Eudora again and now things
    seem to be working right in that dept. It has been a slower week, so I
    do not know for sure in a large download, but I feel good in saying
    that it has behaved, at least in that regard for a week.

    I remember old Outlook Express versions would sometimes 'forget'
    settings and I hope this isn't going to start getting corrupted the way
    OE did. I have a few other new peculiarities that seem to be popping
    up, as well.

    Thanks for the reply...
