wine users - Oct 2001 - Ongoing Eudora problems and a thanks

First off, thanks to the Wine team-- the 10/4 build is the closest to
working well with Eudora I have had since the one I currently run, which
was 1/12/01.

Second, thanks to Lawson Whitney for sending me the socket patch so I
could get the 10/4 build on the net!

Now, Eudora Light 3.0.5 is running much better under the 10/4 build.  A
few little things are still wrong.
Running just "wine --managed eudora.exe" seems to work pretty well,
but
there are a few issues with the mailbox list down the left side.  The
main one being that mailboxes with no mail aren't bold like they should
be.

So, I went ahead and tried "wine --managed --dll comctl32=native
eudora.exe".  This is the way I have to run it under the 1/12 build, so
it's the one I fall back to when the defaults don't work perfectly under
newer builds.  This works very well, except for 2 things.  First, it's
significantly slower than the 1/12 build when opening/closing windows.
Second (this is the killer)-- if Eudora is minimized, and a new message
comes in, the mailbox window shrinks to its smallest possible size.  This
is really really annoying :)

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I see the opposite : when a mailbox has mail,  it's bold.

Yes, that's a general slowing. Nothing I can fix, it's a fundamental
design problem.

Some questions

1) what do you mean by mailbox ? the message list ? the mailbox tree
window ?
2) a message comes in : do you have set automatic scan of server for
new messages ? Does the problem occurs also when asking the server
by hand ?
3) do you see the problem when running with all builtin libraries ?
4) about minimizing problems : which window manager do you
use (it can matter)
