Re: [CGUYS] Eudora 8, Beta 7
I have installed Eudora 7 (paid) on Windows 7 without any problems. Installing on my D drive in the D:\eudora directory and the attachments in the D:\eudora\attach sub directory. It is very configurable and just works. The main reason I installed it on my D drive is that has a lot more space and the C drive is a SSD. I have been using Eudora since the 80's when it first came out. believe my first version was something like 2.2 or so. Whenever I get a new main computer, I always install Eudora in the same directory name and then don't execute the program, I copy the whole sub directory and below to the new computers Eudora directory and all is well. Never a problem and I won't change until they pry the email from my cold dead fingers.

Sue you pretty well sum it up. I don't use the colored labels, but It is just something that works and works well. Tom you keep trying to convince us that Apple is the way to go. Well Eudora is one of those programs that just seems to work without a lot of bugs, reboots or p[roblems, kind of like that Mac OS you keep touting.

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora 8, Beta 7
What you forgot to add was the GUI versions of Word, Excel etc. I used Multiplan on my C64. Mac came out before Windows I will give you that. But do not attempt to rewrite history. many programs were out before the Mac came about. With the new Graphical interface it did require programming changes and yes MS did have to develop these programs for the Mac because there was no Windows. So of course MS took those programs that they had been developing for a long time and used the knowledge they had gained writing GUI versions of Word etc. and made them for the MS Windows version. That is what is called a smart developer. The old company I worked for developed programs using Accucobol. With the advent of Windows Machines (Mid 90's) they had to develop new programs that would operate under a new GUI. They had to change programming languages etc. You remember your version of history I will remember the real version of history.

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora 8, Beta 7
Right. The correct answer to everything in this whole thread is that local email clients are yesterday's news. Well, for anyone with broadband anyway. Once browsers became capable of running email as quickly as any other local client, there suddenly weren't too many good reasons not to do it that way.

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora 8, Beta 7
The basic concept is sending and receiving email. And yes, nowadays AJAX browser clients can do that as well as any local client like Eudora. Now, when you start talking about specific services such as gmail, it's almost a different subject, because it does some things Eudora can't do easily - like store all your stuff in the cloud. OTOH, gmail still won't detach and delete attachments. Cloud storage itself is a different subject. Recently a court ordered Google to pull the plug on a gmail account (apparently only because the guy ignored his spam), and this means the account holder suddenly has no/limited access to his stored emails (depending on his offline settings). Of course, if you're using IMAP and Eudora and the same thing happened to you, you would be in the same situation.

I'm lucky to get a 14,400 dialup connection at my summer house (no cable or DSL there). Web sites take forever to load. It is faster for me to download the mail, go offline to read/reply, and go back online to send. Also I'm not tying up the phone line this way. It's nice to have choices to suit one's purpose!

On Oct 31, 2009, at 3:04 PM, Rev. Stewart Marshall wrote: We have mentioned the fact about the attachments. What's wrong with the following (other than changing old habits)? Q: Where are my Apple Mail attachments stored? A: They are stored on the mail server and also cached on your computer with messages in your Inbox (INBOX.imapmbox). This is different from Eudora, which stores attachments in yourAttachments folder, separate from the messages. Apple Mail’s Inbox is stored in your home directory, in this location: LibraryMailIMAPusername @yourmailserverINBOX.imapmbox (where username is your username and yourmailserver is your mail server’s hostname, such as po14.mit.edu). If you’ve created subfolders on the IMAP mail server, their .imapmbox files can be found in the INBOX folder, in the same location as your INBOX.imapmbox file. Q: How can I download my Apple Mail attachments to save them indefinitely on my computer? A: You can save a single attachment by dragging its icon from the message to the desktop or to another location. If you’d like to saveattachments from more than one message at a time, select the messages and then go to FileSave Attachments, select a download location, and choose Save. Q: How can I delete attachments without deleting the messages themselves? A: Select the messages in question, then go to MessageRemoveattachments. This will create a duplicate copy of the message without attachments. The original message, including attachments, will be marked for deletion or moved to the trash mailbox, depending on your settings. Once you purge your messages or empty your trash, the attachments are not recoverable, unless you have backups of your cached .imapmbox files. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Personally I don't want all the html junk that comes with most email programs. Eudora has great controls that no other email program has ever equaled, the main one being that attachments are detached from the emails so you don't have to keep a ton of mail in order to save attachments.

That sounds counter productive. Webmail requires lots of up time and connectivity to read and then save what is needed. Eudora simply connects and then disconnects.

Many email providers have changed their POP, IMAP, SMTP security settings over the past year or so. These are the ones I use in TBird for GMail, from GMail help pages: POP - port 995; security setting SSL SMTP - port 587; secure connection TLS I had a lot of trouble before I switched the GMail security settings [after Yahoo! changed their settings]. Increasing security by changing settings made problems go away. Also, I can use any one of the outgoing servers for all my email. When I use Verizon SMTP, it works OK. With Yahoo! I have to verify any outside email addresses first, then all email goes out OK. With GMail, any email I send out is automatically changed to the GMail address, even if I use Verizon, Yahoo!, eKit or other email address when creating the message.

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora
Hmmm I am considering this...going Gmail. But will I find all that Eudore offers? No. GMail is an email provider with both online webmail and POP/IMAP service for an email client of your choice on your computer[s]. The webmail interface is too limited for my use [i.e., how do I sort the messages by something other than date?] , but others like it a lot. It's nothing like Eudora. If the old Eudora still works, you can use it--says it requires XP/2000. Otherwise, join the wiki for Penelope project [is it still 'alive'?] at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope, and voice your concerns there. I like Thunderbird email client and Yahoo! email online, original version, Spain or Canada. Mine is in Spanish, yours can be in Brazilian Portuguese, http://br.yahoo.com/. Has anyone tried MailForge/Odysseus? Does the Penelope/Eudora add-on for Thunderbird break it?

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora
Marcio, don't waste your time or money on MailForge which is replacement for Eudora Not.. I have been using eudora since ver 2.3 and now at 7.1, all paid for. MailForge is really really really rough around the edges. It won't import your personalities or address book. Importing your existing folders and mail files is not pretty. They do have a 30 day trial version but the paid version costs $39.95. I don't think it is anywhere near ready for prime time. But, then who am I but an old Fart who loves Eudora.

Re: [CGUYS] Eudora
N! I still use the last Eudora put out by Qualcomm. The one put out by Mozilla (The Penelope Project) is just not the same. It just not operate as nicely nor do the folders work as nicely.

The Eudora tech lists are saying that Eudora 8 is a whole new program. It is based on Thunderbird, with a Eudora skin. The files are not arranged the same way and the functionality is quite different. That's probably why it won't overwrite. I don't know if you can even access the data files from Eudora 7 (and previous versions). Perhaps there's an 'import' feature in V8 that works to do this?
