Hi All
The new Eudora version is too "big" for this type of application. Ian's right, although you do not need admin-rights to install it (or at least not in all circumstances), it needs to be registered in windows which requires an installation procedure. Besides this, it's not freeware.
The good news: Long time ago there was a Eudora version called "Eudora 3.0.x Light" which was freeware and is still available for download: ftp://ftp.eudora.com/eudora/eudorali...s/english/306/
This version is a lot "lighter" and should work without any further installations. To start, install it on your machine and then move the installation folder to your memory stick. Eudora 3.0 seems to work fine on secondary machines, although I haven't tested it on older windows versions or in limited enviroments. Just give it a try.
A few hints:
- Eudora 3.0 does not support IMAP, supports POP only
- Does not support encryption and other "modern" stuff
- Make shure you're not loosing any mails trying this! Always enable the "Leave mails on server" option in Eudoras configuration.
- You will always have to configure "local" SMTP servers to be able to send any messages from an icafe
I'd suggest this solution only for experienced users who need to access an account without web access or for users who need to read their messages offline. Writing messages offline is easy as you can write them in any tool and just copy/paste them later when back online. If you're only having connection speed/time problems with your web-mail account try to disable graphics and other multimedia stuff in the browser (IE: Tools -> Options -> Advanced). This will usualy increase download times by factors!
This topic gives me an idea... the same technology will work to store and download GPS maps, routes and tracklogs...
Save rides, Kudi
