Question I'm using Eudora v. 6.1.0.6 in Windows XP. I have four personalities installed with the original designated the dominant and the three others which were added a few years later. What I would like to do is change the designation of the dominant personality, putting the current one as one of the three and one of the current 'other' personalities designated as the dominant one. Is there a way to do that? Many thanks for your help.
Answer There is no way to delete the <Dominant> persona, it is the "Default" personality in Eudora. You can change the email account settings on that personality to check a different email account by right-clicking on the word <Dominant>, then select "Properties".
Once in the "Properties" window you can change the information on the "Generic Properties" & "Incoming Mail" tabs to send/receive from a different email account.
Highlight the personality you wish to edit, then click on the Edit button.
The Settings window opens with Personalities highlighted. The name of the Personality is listed at the top. The traits below can be modified.
