I don't think Eudora needs to be closed to take advantage of the separate
Settings files.  I've simply clicked on a Settings file for a different
user and Eudora "assumes" this new identity.

The one drawback to this is the inability to protect/hide each users email
from the other users.  I don't think Eudora can handle this.  If I'm not
mistaken, the email already on the local machine can be read by anybody
launching Eudora.
