Eudora normally picks up the time zone used by the computer it is running on. But it seems this is only checked when starting Eudora. My laptop travels between time zones, EST (-5) and AST (-4). It always seems to be behind, or otherwise upset by thetime zone change.
The time on incoming email is reported correctly (I think). 17:55 +8 shows as 4:55 AM in EST (-5). But I just sent a reply and it showed as 6:54 am while the clock said 5:54 am. 6:54 am would have been correct in the AST time zone.
Is there a way to get Eudora to pick up time changes without shutting it down and restarting it?

Presumably your laptop has a mechanism to correct its clock when you change between zones?
Most programs will pick up that time when started, but may not automatically update if it changes.
I don't think there's any guaranteed option other than to restart Eudora, but surely that's not too much hassle, and is good practice to do anyway to keep it running smoothly?! You could set up a batch file to stop it and restart it again, but that

So you presumably manually change the timezone on your laptop when you move between the two zones, or does it use geo-positioning to do it automatically?
I understand why you don't want to restart Eudora all the time, I only have the four system mailboxes open all the time, and I get annoyed when their order sometimes changes on the display, which it shouldn't do! Strangely, after a restart they aresometimes correct again.
I would have thought that Eudora should always use the computer's current clock time to timestamp messages, but it looks as if it's not doing that.
If that's the case, I don't see an answer to this I'm afraid.

But I just sent a reply and it showed as 6:54 am while the clock said 5:54 am. 6:54 am would have been correct in the AST time zone.
Is there a way to get Eudora to pick up time changes without shutting it down and restarting it?

Presumably your laptop has a mechanism to correct its clock when you change between zones?
Most programs will pick up that time when started, but may not automatically update if it changes.
I don't think there's any guaranteed option other than to restart Eudora, but surely that's not too much hassle, and is good practice to do anyway to keep it running smoothly?! You could set up a batch file to stop it and restart it again,

that total piece of crap for so long. Win95 literally would not run for much more than an hour without crashing once a few drivers were installed. But the OS by itself was still buggy, it even crashed on Bill Gates at a presentation to the world!Sometimes it's exhausting being OCD, even a little bit. :( Eudora is not very tolerant of this.
I don't find problems with needing to shut down programs to keep them "running smoothly", well, not since I ran Windows 95! I skipped Win98 and WinME, moving to Win2k and never looked back. I'm really disappointed that Gates kept us running
configuration and the laptop has to be booted. But like I said, less than 8 times a year.I can generally keep my computer running for well over a month without restarting it. Once in a while a browser (not known for stability much) will crash and muck up the machine with it. Typically something goes haywire with the screen
for awhile and eventually that power light would come back on, allowing me to hold the power button and reset the computer. That kept happening randomly for around a month or so. I actually bought another laptop that I didn't like, just so I would haveI had a very odd thing for awhile. The machine would completely turn off, for no clear reason. Even the light on the computer that shows a power pack is plugged in, would not light. I'd play with the power button and unplugging the power pack

Still, I keep everything important backed up.The failures got a bit more frequent for a couple of days, and eventually I found I could crash it by twisting the laptop body a bit.

Like people who don't understand tha they can't just set the time on their computers, they have to use the right time zone, or it displays the wrong time on the emails I receive. The whole world is not on theComputers suck! But like a friend pointed out when I complained about how the cell phones would not work reliably when traveling. You can't use your land line when in the car, so not really comparable.
Maybe I should just leave my laptop on one timezone setting and use my phone for the time? It's important for the emails to be properly timestamped, and I don't know if this is just a display problem, or if the times will always be messed up

So you presumably manually change the timezone on your laptop when you move between the two zones, or does it use geo-positioning to do it automatically?Geopositioning??? It checks with the network it is connected to which supplies the time zone. The phone would do the same thing, but the phone network reports eastern US time in Puerto Rico for some reason. So that, I have to change manually.

Yes, I did mean GPS. Perhaps they don't put it into laptops because it needs line of sight to the satellites, but cost would be a factor too of course!-
If you have the date display option set to local time, that should give you what you want, but of course it's no good if Eudora has the wrong local time!
I guess there is no answer to this.
