Yes, just set setting 183 to "n" for each personality you want to check mail and to "y" for the others.

I was - and still am - trying to set up a script which will read mail on command from a single personality. I want to trigger it from another machine but that's for later. Here's where I am. It's about 2 hours worth after starting with John's suggestion.


What happens is that, just as the script terminates, Eudora runs out and checks mail for every personality and I'm frustrated as the dickens. It's as though Eudora has sensed a change in the settings and set up a read at the next possible time. Surely there is some setting that will make Eudora at least wait until the next scheduled time for the other personalities but which one? What do I search for in the settings.txt file?

You're making far too much of a meal of it.

Step 1:

You want, say, only personalities 1 and 5 to check mail.

Do this and run the test:

tell app "Eudora"
set {do_check, dont_check} to {"n", "y"}
repeat with i from 1 to count personalities
tell personality i
if i is in {1, 5} then -- or use case-sensitive names
set its setting 183 to do_check
else
set its setting 183 to dont_check
end
end
end
end
-- T E S T
tell app "Eudora"
set ls to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count personalities
tell personality i
set end of ls to name & ":" & (setting 183 is "n") & return
end
end
ls
end
-- E N D T E S T

You now want to turn off automatic checking

You have observed:
<x-eudora-setting:84> When checked, Eudora will make no connections.
That means just what is says, so leave it at "" or "n" or else you won't be able to make ANY connexions.

You have observed:
<x-eudora-setting:38> When checked, nothing interesting will happen.
That means just what is says, so leave it at the default "n" because nothing interesting will happen even if you set it to "BANG!"

Now to our sheep...

<x-eudora-setting:6> How often (in minutes) Eudora will check for mail.

set setting 6 to "" -- or some very big number

<x-eudora-setting:153> When checked, Eudora will check for mail at the specified interval.

set setting 153 to "" -- but it makes no difference if setting 6 is ""

Then

connect with checking without sending and waiting
