I was curious if any other Zone Alarm 6.5 and Eudora users have
experienced this.
Yesterday, I updated my Zonealarm Pro Firewall to Version 6.5. Shortly
thereafter, I began getting warnings from Eudora that various mailboxes
had out-of-date tables of contents, and did I want to rebuild?
This seemed to be happening every time I started Eudora. I took a look
at my Eudora data directory, and noted that, indeed, the .toc files were
never being updated as the .mbx files changed.
Since the only thing that had changed on my system was Zone Alarm, I
backed out to Version 6.1. Problem solved. I re-installed 6.5 - problem
back. Re-installed 6.1 - fixed again. Clearly, then, the problem is
Zonealarm 6.5.
Potentially confounding factors are that I use avast! free to scan my
email (though I experimented with turning that off) and store my Eudora
data directory on a PGP disk.
I also turned off the "Mailsafe" option in Zonealarm, which did not
help.

Thanks for the warning. I see nothing new regarding Eudora (or avast or PGP)
issues with the new ZAP on the ZA Forums. You could try posting there:
http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs
I see from the release notes that a lot was changed from ZAP 6.1 to 6.5 so
maybe there is an issue in there somewhere with regards to Eudora. I assume
you're using the latest Eudora 7.0.1. When you installed the new ZAP, did
you do the "New Installation" or "Upgrade" route? I've had issues in the
past trying Upgrade and had much better luck with the clean installation
although it does mean a few days of effort to let it configure itself again.
The ZAP forums do mention issues in the past between new versions of ZAP and
avast.
Since I have Eudora and ZAP running on two PCs, I may try in a day or three
to install ZAP6.5. I'll report back either way. I will check this newsgroup
and the ZA Forums before starting the install in case others also have your
reported issue.
Does your ZAP "Alerts & Logs" panel show any denied issues that seem related
to Eudora or your avast! or PGP that may shed some light on your problem?
Good luck and keep us apprised of your results, although it appears now that
you're back to ZAP 6.1 and will wait for the next ZAP 6.5 before trying
again.

Well this is weird. I have ZoneAlarm Pro version 6.1.744.001 and
every time I click on "Check for Update" I get a response saying "Your
Internet Security is Up to Date."
Either 6.5 is a pre-release version or they haven't put it in their
update folder yet. I think I'll wait for them to officially put it in
the update folder before I start looking for it to install it.

I was glad to read your message, as I've been struggling with the same
symptoms since I installed Zone Alarm Pro 6.5 last night!

I've removed ZAP and activated the Windows XP Firewall, and the problem
has gone away. It does seem to me to be an issue with Zone Alarm.

I'm using AVG anti-virus. I installed that at the same time, so it could
potentially have been that causing the problem, but I'm now running AVG
without Zone Alarm, and the TOCs are rebuilding OK.
I'm using POPFile to scan for spam. Not using PGP. I also failed to look
at the ZAP logs before uninstalling...
