So if you are a Tbird user already, you could try it out first without switching to Eurora – but question is what features is Penelope going to give you other the new sounds and the ability to add any menu item to the toolbar. ?? I see the intent of Penelope was to make a TBird more to Eudora users liking (emailman.software.clients.eudora.penelope). But for the user of Tbird what is the incentive to try Penelope? The features of Penelope are not yet clear to me. Also can one uninstall Penelope?

Thunderbird is not perfect and I am currently looking to review Outlook again after many years. Thunderbird crashes but it is easy to use, has a clean interface and its easy to back up (Moz backup) – and best of all it is open source. It would be nice to find a middle path between the complexity of Outlook and the simplicity of Tbird. Eudora could be that choice.

If they’ve had any experience in an office, they understand file cabinets and folders. From that perspective, labels are good for one thing – put a name, and date on it, then stick it in a folder. Thus, labels in GMail are counterintuitive to a massive number of people who end up having all their email in their GMail inbox never sorted, leaving them overwhelmed.

Eudora, on the other hand, is so much more intuitive to that market, at least from my business management and web consulting experience over the past 12+ years.

I’ve been using Eudora since the late 90s. With hundreds of clients.

With the folder hierarchy I maintain about 20 folders, and 50 mailboxes within those. The extensive filter and rules controls are critical – all of my client email gets sent to the exact mailbox in the right folder or otherwise processed as I need it to. I maintain six email accounts through different domains and different mail servers so the POP functionality is important as well.- it just can’t be beat from a business management perspective.

One of the most important business aspects for me is that I routinely back up all my folders and mailboxes and store them for legal purposes. Because of this I can go back seven years and retrieve client communication,email that supports tax deductions, etc. I’d never even begin to fathom doing that with GMail or any other web based mail solution given how unwieldy it would be with labels that pretend to provide better functionality than folders.

I’d still go with labels over folders any day

Then again, I do wish that Yahoo Mail would have an option to use pine. . .

will take you straight to a niftly little greasemonkey script that does just the trick… and avoids those nastly long lists of labels by allowing the hierarchy to be collapsed.

Mozilla né Firefox, Inc is where they’re investing their resources. What business do they have releasing (and subsequently supporting) a desktop mail client like Eudora?

Do you seriously believe that many people use web-based email for day-to-day emailing? Even here in Google/Yahoo country, I can assure you that the vast, vast majority of email handling is performed with a client. Web interfaces are nothing more than nice back-ups.

i’ve played around with a few other mail clients in the past, but for me, nothing’s ever beat eudora.

(i had way too many problems porting my eudora files to eudora for mac, which is why i’m still using the windows version–i think they did users a disservice by not keeping it compatible, or at least providing a converter.)

Actually Duncan, your writing is fine. About 10X better than that hack who wrote the Freakonomics book (which was a torturous, junior high school level read.)

That, and I *still* get webmail: Qualcomm Eudora knows what new mail to fetch, and which to leave in my account (for a few days or forever).

The desktop is still where back-end integration can best be achieved with the maximum expressive power and the maximum flexibility. Until I can set things up this way under webmail, I’d rather have both.

I hope they’ve moved the rules system integrally to the new platform.

Thunderbird does have a much, much cleaner interface for your everyday email for sure.

Seems stupid that they didn’t just leave Eudora as it is/was and simply remove the ads. Why remake Thunderbird with a clunky user interface? I really don’t see the point.
