My computer stopped working and I can't access the old hard drive at the moment. I have some backups of the enter Eudora directory, but I'd like to keep those as last resorts to avoid mixing old emails with new emails and having to fold in the "recent"emails that aren't in the backups.
So to start, I'd like to get an installation of Eudora up and running. Any good sources for that? I've found some sites on the web, but I don't know which ones are merged with spyware or worse.

It's a slightly updated version of Eudora 7.1 with updated certificates, and more importantly an update to enable it to connect to mail servers using TLS v1.2, which is now becoming mandatory on many mail servers.
When running the installer, always select that you're doing a new installation, not an update, even if you are doing an update!

Thanks for the advice. If I install the Hermes version, will I be able to copy all my files from the old Eudora directory such as the .ini file and the email files? Or will I need to manually configure everything from scratch?- Get 1,000 miles of free SuperchargingI would recommend using the Hermes installer. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hermesmail/

One of my big concerns is getting the connections to my mail hosts working again. When they work it's all good, but when it breaks there's no real help. Last time I changed hosting providers we couldn't get the connection to the mail server working.
Email is so vital to my business. I've thought of switching to Google, but that has it's own set of risks. I literally have no idea of how to back up anything under Gmail and they only provide a limited amount of storage, but I suppose you can buy more.

You should be able to copy the old eudora.ini file, and the old mailbox files, across to the new installation (with Eudora closed of course!) as long as the path to those files is the same as it was on the old system. When you run the installer itshould ask you where you want the program files and data files to be. If you mirror your old installation's paths on the new system, that should work fine, and Eudora should look and behave exactly as before.

Ok, once I get a USB case to put the hard drive in I'll give that a run. My laptop works ok, but the power input has crapped out. With only minutes of battery life left, not enough to be at all certain of getting the important files onto a USB drive. Ithink it is better to just punt and get the drive case. I'm in Puerto Rico which has fewer places to find computer gear and none of them seem to have these cases. I'm headed back to the states Tuesday, so I'll pick up a couple there. Two different brands

Rather than installing Eudora from scratch, I copied two folders from the old drive to the new. One is the Eudora folder under Program Files (x86). The other is the "data" folder, again called Eudora from under user name/AppData. I thought thiswould be adequate, but I suppose something in the registry needs to be touched. Running Eudora.exe gives the error, "Can not start Eudora the first time with attachments. Please start Eudora by double clicking the Eudora icon or by the command line."
When I try to run Eudora from a command line I get the same error.forgiving with the mailbox access setup and there are enough variables with very little feedback about errors so it can be a hugely frustrating process to get it working.
I suppose this means just what it says? I don't have an icon, but I suppose they mean the one created when running the installation. So am I stuck with installing Eudora then trying to patch files by trial and error? I find Eudora to not be very
I've moved Eudora to new machines many times and I don't recall ever having to install from scratch. But it's been some years now and I just don't recall the details anymore.
