I’m also providing a link to Microsoft for those that prefer to download the library directly from Microsoft. The zipfile contains the four Hermes files plus the 32-bit version of the Microsoft library. Of course, you’ll do that while Eudora is not running, and it’s always a good idea to back up any files you’re replacing.

Installing the Hermes patch manually entails replacing four files in your Eudora program directory as well as installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) if you don’t already have it on your system. Many Eudora fans prefer a DIY approach to patches and that’s something that’s easily done. The download begins automatically when you click. This software is served from the Hermes project area on SOURCEFORGE. If you get an error at the end – it happens sometimes – just ignore it. Tell the Hermes installer that it’s a NEW install. This executable is a regular Eudora v7.1.0.9 installer that’s patched to provide the necessary files as well as install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) that’s required.įor a fresh Eudora install first run the original installer, THEN run this one over the top of it. It pretty much renders the QCSSL patch obsolete, fixes the ancient root certificate store, and makes Eudora compatible newer versions of SSL/TLS as more providers require TLS v1.2. This is sole output (thus far) from the Hermes project, but it’s a powerhouse. The zipfile includes a patched QCSSL.dll file and a brief ReadMe.txt file with ultra-simple installation instructions. This is the original one-byte QCSSL.dll patch made necessary for Eudora’s TLS/SSL users when Windows 7 came around.Ī change to an internal Microsoft library caused Eudora’s first SSL mail check take a long, long time which usually resulted in a timeout. This software is from my personal collection and served from my personal Dropbox. It does NOT include any other patches which may be necessary to enable Eudora to run nicely in today’s world. The zipfile includes documentation, release notes, and stuff like SMIME. It’s the latest version available, the one you should be running – older versions were ‘more buggier’™. This is the original distribution by Qualcomm., version 7.1.0.9.
