Are you on a Mac? (Sorry, should have asked in advance.) If so, I have limited
experience with Eudora or any other email program. I just checked the documents for
the WIN32 version of Eudora 5.0, and there are MAPI settings options, but I believe
this only runs on Windows. Can anyone give Melissa advice for sending email from
ebase on the Mac?
Melissa, have you tried checking your Filemaker Pro manual and/or the FMP website?
Sorry not more help,
Matt
