Eudora 5.2 ships today
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
November 5th 2002
New version offers better spam filtering, SSL authentication under X
QualComm has announced the commercial release of Eudora 5.2, a new version of its
popular e-mail program for the Macintosh users. Eudora 5.2 features even greater
filtering to protect users from aggressive quantities of junk mail, Kerberos V
authentication support for universities and site licensees, as well as SSL (secure
socket layer) e-mail security for X.2.
"Recent reports estimate that within the next four years, e-mail traffic will reach 60
billion e-mail messages sent daily, up from the already massive 20 billion today,"
said William Ganon, vice president, Eudora products. "Thus, powerful e-mail management
tools are mandatory to handle both the massive quantity of mail, as well as the
security needs of organizations and individual e-mail users. The new features in
Eudora 5.2 go directly to these areas."
A highlight of the new features of Eudora 5.2 e-mail software is improved filtering
and spam protection. Eudora users will have even more control of filtering the
ever-increasing amount of spam they receive. Eudora's longstanding leadership in
powerful e-mail filtering is now enhanced by the ability to match addresses against
specific address books or all address books.
Specially requested by universities, Kerberos V site authentication support allows a
user to login to a network with one-time authorization. Kerberos, a network
authentication protocol, is designed to provide strong authentication for
client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. Eudora supports SSL under
X.2, allowing users increased privacy in all their e-mail transactions.
This full-featured program is free when used in "sponsored" mode, which displays ads
in the user interface. Eudora 5.2 in "paid" mode, which does not display advertising,
is available for $39.95 (SRP) for new purchasers; $29.95 for registered users; and no
charge to users who purchased and registered the paid mode of Eudora versions 4.3-5.1
in the last 12 months. Technical support is available to Paid mode users only.
Eudora 5.2 can be downloaded at www.eudora.com here.
Editor's note: Development of Eudora, long a Mac-platform favorite, has lagged in
recent years, especially on the Mac side. Hopefully, this latest feature-parity update
marks a refocusing by the company to spur faster releases.
