“-ERR Maildrop lock busy”
This usually happens after your PC has “hung” during a mail check and you are now
attempting to re-connect to the mail server. The best thing to do is to contact your
e-mail administrator and report that you have a POP3 server process that needs to be
disconnected.
“503 Need RCPT (Recipient)”
You must include at least one recipient in the To: field of your outgoing message in
order for the message to be delivered. If you have a nickname in the To: field, be sure
that in the Address Book at least one e-mail address or valid nickname is included in
the Address(es) tab. If the Address(es) tab is blank, there are no recipients and this
causes the error.
“Error getting a network socket. Cause: no buffer space available (10055)”
The buffers the error message is referring to are TCP buffers. TCP/IP stacks need
buffers in which they can store data that goes to/from the network. Since at a low level
the data has to be sent to a hardware device, the buffers generally have to be in low
memory (i.e., < 1MB). This is valuable space for most users, so most TCP/IP stacks
have a way of controlling how many of these buffers the user wants allocated. If you’re
using a lot of other network applications at the same time (especially the X Window
System, which uses a buffer for each window), then you might get this error. The other
time this error might occur is when the TCP/IP stack is not correctly marking buffers as
being unused, so you have a buffer not being used that the stack thinks is being used.
“Could not rename lmos.tmp to lmos.dat”
Quit Eudora, and go to your Eudora directory. Find the files called lmos.tmp and
lmos.dat and delete them both (lmos.tmp may not be there: that’s not a problem).
On your next mail check you may get some mail that you have already received, but
that should only happen once.
“This recipient is not acceptable to your SMTP server” or “Relay Denied”
This error messages displays if you have multiple personalities and have any relay
restrictions to stop spam messages turned on. Turn the relay restriction function off.
Formatting and Printing
The following are possible formatting and printing problems, and suggestions for fixing
them.
You received a message containing columns and the columns are not lining up
correctly.
Your message font is probably a proportional font. Change your display font in the
Fonts Options (Tools>Options>Fonts): set the “Fixed-width” option to a non-propor-
tional font (such as Courier New or Courier), and uncheck the “Use proportional font by
default” option.
You have a message that is printing with strange line breaks.
When most e-mail programs send out messages, they insert hard returns at around 75
to 80 characters. (If they didn’t, some e-mail applications would be able to display only
the first 80 characters or so of a very long line of text.) What’s happening with your
message is that the width of the line that fits on the printed page is shorter than 75 to
80 characters, so the hard returns end up in the wrong place.
