Automation
The Automation options let you control and exchange information with Eudora from other
programs that support the Windows Automation Interface, such as Microsoft Visual Basic.
These options give you external access to Eudora mail folders, mailboxes, and messages,
and to the Eudora application itself. With automation enabled, you can create, delete, and
move Eudora mail folders, mailboxes, and messages, as well as get notification of these
three operations when they are performed manually. You can also get lists of the
subfolders under folders and of the messages within mailboxes. For more information on
