IMPORTANT!! IF INSTALLING OVER AN OLDER VERSION OF EUDORA 5.x for OSX, PLEASE PRINT! If you are installing over an older version of Eudora that contains custom plugins in the Eudora stuff folder, we would recommend doing the following: Install this new 5.2.1 in your existing OSX Eudora Application folder. Make sure that the Eudora Application folder contains the Eudora application before updating to 5.2.1. This will retain any custom plugins you have in your Eudora stuff folder. If you installed to a new Eudora application folder and are missing your custom plugins: 1) Find your older Eudora application, hold down the control key and click on the Eudora application, click on Show Package Contents/Open Contents/MacOS/Eudora Stuff. Move the Eudora stuff folder to the desktop. 2) To find your new Eudora stuff folder, open the new Eudora Application folder, hold down the control key and click on the Eudora application, click on Show Package Contents, open "Contents", then "MacOS", then "Eudora Stuff". 3) Drag any custom plugins from the Eudora folder on the desktop to the Eudora Stuff folder opened in step 2. 4) You may also want to move your User Dictionary from the Eudora Shared Libraries folder (from the desktop "Eudora Folder") to the new Eudora Shared Libraries folder. 5) Close all windows and double click the Eudora application icon in the new Eudora Application folder, this will start the Eudora program. You can actually move this Eudora icon to anywhere on your computer and start Eudora from that icon. You can delete the old Eudora stuff folder on the desktop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EUDORA FOR MACINTOSH, Version 5.2.1 OSX This is version 5.2.1 of Eudora for Macintosh OSX.
