   As of last Friday, specific troubleshooting instructions for anyone
using Eudora for the Macintosh with Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther") have
been available at:

http://bert.berkeley.edu/calmail/help/troubleshooting/eudoramac-encryption.html

Can't receive or send mail under Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther")
Summary: If you're using Eudora for Macintosh version 6.0 or
higher, either follow QUALCOMM's instructions to install at least
one certificate in your Keychain or turn off encryption for checking
and sending mail. If you're
using Eudora for Macintosh version 5.2.1 or
earlier, either turn off encryption for checking and sending mail
or upgrade to version 6.0 or higher.
