Compacting Mailboxes: Recovering Storage Space
Even after a message has been deleted with the two- step process described above, the storage space which that message originally required is still taken. Normally, Eudora recovers this space automatically when it becomes troublesome. However, if disk space is very tight, you can force this to happen earlier than usual. In order to reclaim the storage space, select the Compact Mailboxes from the Special menu. To compact an individual mailbox, hold down the [command]/CTRL key and single-click on the mailbox size display (see the "Mailbox Size Display" section).
Note: Eudora compacts mailboxes automatically when you close them under either of two conditions. Mailboxes are compacted if the amount of wasted space in the mailbox is greater than the amount of space the messages in the mailbox use, or if the amount of space wasted in the mailbox is greater than 5% of the free space on the volume that contains it.
Emptying the Trash:
All messages are automatically deleted from the Trash mailbox when you exit out of Eudora if the Empty Trash when exiting option is selected in the Miscellaneous Options. Here are the steps to manually empty your Trash mailbox:

This is a permanent deletion.

1. Enter the header and body of your message the usual way.
2. Choose Attach File from the Message Menu.
3. Locate the file or document you wish to attach. In this example, attach the Chateval.doc file to the email message. Notice that it is located on the c: drive and in the EDTC608 directory.

Viewing attachments
Eudora will indicate that a file or a document has been received with the email message as an attachment.
By default, Eudora stores the file or document in the Attach directory in Eudora Light . To view the file or document , open a program that can read the file format (i.e, word processor or spreadsheet) and open the Attach directory to select the file.
The following example is how to open the attachment file sent in the email message.
a) First, open the word processing program and selected Open File from the File Menu.
b) Next, select the drive containing the Eudora Light email program.
c) Locate the directory on the drive that is the home of the attachment that needs to be sent by email.
d) Opening the Attach directory provides a view of the files in the directory. Select the April10.doc file and clicked OK.
e) You can now view the attachment file of the email message that was received.

end of every email message you send. This saves you from having to type
the same thing at the bottom of every message. To set up a signature, select
Signature from the Tools menu.
Type in the Signature you wish to use.

when prompted.
