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.
tell application "Eudora"
activate -- remove me someday
set setting 38 to "y" -- trying to turn off connects
set setting 84 to "y" -- trying to turn off connects
set plist to {}
set qlist to {}
set pcount to count of personalities -- There are 12
repeat with jill from 1 to pcount -- saving existing settings
set plist to plist & setting 183 of personality jill
set qlist to qlist & setting 153 of personality jill
-- and setting everything to the off state
set setting 183 of personality jill to "y" -- means no
set setting 153 of personality jill to "n"
end repeat
set setting 183 of personality "Admin" to "n" -- means yes
set setting 38 to "n" -- allow connections
set setting 84 to "n"
connect with checking without sending and waiting
delay 10 -- Only account Admin gets read as expected.
set setting 84 to "y" -- turn all connects off once again
set setting 38 to "y"
repeat with jill from 1 to pcount
-- reset all of the original options.
set setting 183 of personality jill to item jill of plist
set setting 153 of personality jill to item jill of qlist
end repeat
set setting 38 to "n" -- turn connects back on
set setting 84 to "n" -- and everything gets read!
end tell
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?
<x-eudora-setting:84> When checked, Eudora will make no connections. <x-eudora-setting:38> When checked, nothing interesting will happen. <x-eudora-setting:153> When checked, Eudora will check for mail at the specified interval. <x-eudora-setting:183> When checked, Eudora will check mail for this personality on manual mail checks.)) Setting reversed; use n> for ON, y> for OFF!
