I've upgraded to 6.1.0.6 this morning and since the upgrade i get the
warning "you currently have 1 task(s) running. Quitting now will terminate
these tasks immediately. Do you want to quit anyways ?"

anyone have any idea what this could be caused by ? I have checked and have
no mail checking running, nor any unsent mail in the out box nor doing
anything.. i can have eudora sit for a few hours not doing anything but when
shutting eudora down i still get the message.

What could be running that would cause eudora to bring up this message ?

Thanx for any suggestions i can check out.

I am having the same problem and I think it is associated with an access violation
"The instruction at '0x73dd1c65' referenced memory at 0x00000000'. The memory could not be

Is this a Eudora problem or a Windows Problem?

It would have to be both. I actually solved this problem by deleting all the "*.RCV" files
in the "SPOOL" sub-directory. I am a subscriber to quite a few lists and have quite an
elaborate filter system and it looks like it (Eudora) can't handle particular messages.

<<___How would knowing the answer to your question help?___>>>
Clearly my Eudora doesn't work properly and my OS is Windows XP SP1.

I had recently backed up my mailboxes, filters and address book, un-installed Eudora and
made sure no traces were left behind. I then reinstalled it copying back the mailboxes,
address book and filter file. I went through all the filters eliminating some old and
redundant ones and the problem still persists.

When I have a day spare I will reinstall Windows XP, the current install is nearly 2
years old! and has accumulated a fair bit of crap despite the fact that I regularly run a
number of anti-MALware applications (AdAware, SpyBot, Registry Mechanic, SpySweeper, Easy
Cleaner). I have also unistalled a number of apps and printers I don't use anymore.

Can anyone recommend another email client?
I want one that will import Eudora mailboxes, and has a flexible filter/rules system like
Eudora. I don't make that much use of many of the features of Eudora

Does it tell you it is unable to rebuild the toc file, or do you assume
that because you keep getting the error message?

If the latter, and this happens when you start Eudora, you probably have a
bad message sitting in a spool file that Eudora keeps trying to process
each time you start it. That results in the inbox getting corrupted over
and over again. If that's what is happening, it isn't that Eudora can't
rebuild the toc file. It just gets rebuilt and then corrupted again. The
fix is to get rid of the bad spool file. (Spool files are found in the
"spool" subdirectory and have .rcv extensions. You can look at them with a
text editor to see what they are before deleting them. If you sort them by
date, the bad one is probably the oldest one.)

I deleted the .RCV files (see my other post) and it's OK. But just a few hours later it
did the same thing and again I had to delete the .RCV files (once more) to get Eudora to
work.

It appears that Eudora is very fussy about something in the messages that are recevied.
If it can fall over so easily attempting to process it I can only surmise that the coding
for processing and filtering messages is not at all robust as far as error handling goes.

At the very least I would prefer to have some more meaningful error messages that would
tell me what the problem is, and ideally even inform the user which message it cannot
handle, so that it could continue onto the next message.

My error might be almost the same little different has to what happens
after.

I will explain. I upgraded from the previous release prior to 6.0 but
only in Sponsor mode. I then upgraded to 6.0 Paid. All running in
Windows XP Pro with SP1.

Ever since installing 6.0 I get an error message just as soon as
downloading new mail from my ISP. The error meassage goes by quick I
never get a chance to read it and then it brings up the Windows error
report window.

I then have to restart Eudora 6 and it tells me that it needs to
re-build the mailboxes. After it re-builds the mailboxes all the
messages are duplicated into the In Box.

Usually I can go about a week or two and then the problem re-appears.
Like I said prior to Eudora 6.0 I never experienced this problem. I
have even updated to 6.1 and the error happened again on April 19.

I think you will find it's an "Unhandled Exception Error" message. If you
look in the "send error report" window I believe there is a couple of links
to the error log. [Sorry, don't recall the actual file name at the
moment.]

And then after it rebuilds the mailboxes, I'll bet it rates a bunch of
messages as junk score = 0? And then won't pick up new messages perhaps
until you exit it (at which point it says you still have a task running),
and then restart it?

Depends on volume of mail. Sometimes I can go a couple of days between it
happening. Sometimes it will happen several times in an hour.

I'd say it is definitely different.

Windows XP normally keeps a log file of Windows errors. It sounds like you
need to look at it to see what these errors are. You may also find
something in the Eudora log file too.

re-build the mailboxes.

Not unusual if you have a crash while before a mailcheck is finished. Is
it really as soon as you start downloading, or is it happening when Eudora
starts to process what has downloaded so far? Crashes during processing
definitely end up causing the inbox to be rebuilt, and crashes during
filtering can cause others to need rebuilding as well. Which mailboxes are
involved in your case? The message specifies the exact mailbox each time
it comes up. It is done on a mailbox by mailbox basis, not every mailbox
at once.

Post by Bill Davis Jr
After it re-builds the mailboxes all the
messages are duplicated into the In Box.

Which messages are duplicated? Old messages that were previously deleted
from the inbox either by transferring them elsewhere or by deleting them
directly? The same new messages each time? The batch of messages that was
last downloaded? Others? If it is old messages, the duplication problem is
that you need to compact your mailboxes regularly. If you don't,
rebuilding the toc file will recover any deleted messages that haven't
been compacted away.

Remember that a great many problems with the inbox are caused by letting
it get too big. Unless you've let it get really huge, that's probably not
your whole problem, but it could be part of it and if you've let it get
really huge, it could be the whole problem.

Just a wild guess here, but I wonder if the Inbox, Outbox, or
Trash are full and then some due to deleting messages, but never
compacting the mailboxes. To the original poster - What are the
three numbers in the lower left corner of each of these three
mailboxes? That's three numbers per mailbox, separated by
slashes. What are they? some may be followed by a letter K -
include that also.

Trash folder gets deleted upon exiting Eudora. Here is from the In Box
166/1222K/332K.

I have a couple of other Mailboxes to sort out my Email discussion
groups and none of them are nowhere near that size. And they all get
deleted after reading.

That's a bit larger than the recommended maximum size, but most people
wouldn't have a problem at that size. You could be one of the ones who
does have a problem there though.

The only mailboxes whose size really matters are the system mailboxes -

Did you look at the rcv files before deleting them? Did you make any
attempt to tell which one was the problem? If so, what did you find? If
you find more than one rcv file, there's generally no need to delete more
than just the one that is causing the problem, and that one should be the
oldest one in most cases.

It appears that Eudora is very fussy about something in the messages that are recevied.

In general, Eudora just expects messages to follow the appropriate
standards for message format. It has a long-standing problem with messages
in Asian (Chinese for sure, others maybe) character sets with long headers
though. Do you commonly get messages in Chinese? If so, that's quite
likely to be the problem. Other messages do end up causing a problem once
in a while, but generally not for any obvious reason, and generally not
very often at all. I get anywhere between 400 and 600 non-junk messages a
day. In many years of using Eudora, I don't think I've ever received a
message that caused that problem. The people who typically have more
problems with this are the ones getting a lot of Chinese spam. If you get
a lot of Chinese messages spam or otherwise, I'd recommend using one of
the programs that filters out junk before Eudora gets the messages.

At the very least I would prefer to have some more meaningful error messages that would
tell me what the problem is, and ideally even inform the user which message it cannot
handle, so that it could continue onto the next message.

That would be nice. Not crashing to start with would be even nicer.

I ZIPped them up before deleting them. On one occasion it was just the one .RCV file with
just the one message in it that caused Eudora to continually crash. The message is in
English, from a Yahoo groups mailing list from a yahoo email account. Nothing non-English
there!?

I've upgraded to 6.1.0.6 this morning and since the upgrade i
get the warning "you currently have 1 task(s) running. Quitting
now will terminate these tasks immediately. Do you want to quit
anyways ?"
anyone have any idea what this could be caused by ? I have
checked and have no mail checking running, nor any unsent mail
in the out box nor doing anything.. i can have eudora sit for a
few hours not doing anything but when shutting eudora down i
still get the message.

My guess is that you are using XP with one of the non-default
windows themes.

When using the default windows theme there is no problems. When using
one of the "Colorfull" themes I have noticed that the Ying Yang
symbol freezes. When The Ying Yang is freezing the last task is kept
unfinished, and will give you this error.

Try and keep an eye on the ying yang symbol. You can "unfreeze" the
symbol by moving the mouse over the "Qualcomm" logo in the lower
right corner. It seems like this makes the stausbar update somehow?!

Anyways. This is one of my experiences... Try that out..

Does the task status window show anything running before you quit?

Does Eudora actually check mail for all your accounts? More than one
person has reported problems with Eudora not checking the dominant account
then giving that message when quitting. Presumably, the task running is
the mailcheck for the dominant account, which is somehow getting stuck and
not actually running. How to fix it remains to be seen, but creating a new
personality with the same information in it and turning off mail checking
for the one that doesn't check properly seems to be a work-around.

I have exactly these problems (not checking dominant, warning when
quitting) since upgrading to 6.1.0.6 (from 6.0.3). The workaround with
a new personality with the same settings as the dominant works fine to
collect mail, but I still get the task-is-still-running-message when
closing Eudora, regardless of the mail-check-settings of the dominant
account. Also had a look a the spool-folder (deleted a rcv-file), but
that didn't help either. Any other suggestions how to get rid of this
annoying problem?

I have the same problem. Used a tech support incident, and received
the
following instructions. They worked for me:

1. If you are running an Anti-Virus application, please set it so it
is
either:
a. disabled
b. not to scan incoming mail
c. not to scan the Spool folder in Eudora data directory

2. Go to Tools-Options-Checking Mail and set SSL to never

3. Do a search for Spool folder in Eudora directory and rename the
folder.

4. Reboot the PC and now you should be able to check your mail.
