What is your process to use Len's fix tool with filters?

It's been a little while since we had a status update on the Hermes project. There are a lot of things on my wishlist for making Eudora current, and I know lack of updates are not an indication of the amount of work being done. I'm just looking for a progress check - hoping for a Christmas present!

Perhaps it is too late to post a request for an update to the current Hermes installer, but I'll do it anyway! The current installer fails to make the proper change in Windows 10 to register it as a default mail prpogram (ie, you can't set Hermes as the default mail program.) The solution is to run the old Eudora installer, then re-install again using Hermes. Perhaps this missing feature can be added to the Hermes installer for Windows 10? Now that I have Eudora/Hermes working reliably with my host...

Disclaimer: I use the POP protocol with my connection to Comcast, I don't know if the following note to set port 995 will work for IMAP. In your designated mail folder, you should find the "eudora.ini" file, which can be opened in notepad. Many of these settings are defined in the tools/options menu in Eudora - you should recognize some of the line items. Other settings are a bit obtuse, it's best to change them from the options menu. Start by making a copy of the eudora.ini file, then check to see...

Comcast has finally closed port 110 today. Since I've been unable to get my copy of Eudora to connect to port 995 - that offically ends my use of Eudora (at least for now). Anyone have a suggestion on what client to migrate to, with the expectation I will move to Hermes when it is released ? (BTW, I officially toss my hat into the ALPHA testing pool... :)

I did a packet capture using Wireshark of an attempt to connect Eudora via port 995 using SSH/TLS. I don't see any data being transfered, just handshakes. I can send you the capture files if you have a CAP file viewer. Do you have a secure way to send the files (other than public postings here?)

I tried that setting as well with the same result. Making that change in the options menu changes the eudora.ini fields to: SSLSendUse=2 SSLReceiveUse=2

I will see if I can find out what Comcast uses for mail servers, they did use Zimbra for webmail - but that may have changed. I will be happy to help with testing. I worked in the computer support field (now retired) - but I have no coding experience.
