This is so insane. If you don't like M$ programs, why you use M$ OS? There's no point in recommending a non-M$ program to be run under M$'s OS. :-P Alberto Monteiro ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I use and would recommend Pegasus Mail - http://www.pmail.com/ Robust mail client with several possible view-types, and an inbuilt baesian filter. On 30 Mar 2008 at 6:04, Ronn!

Firefox may be a satisfactory browser but I am quite disappointed in the lack of functionality of Thunderbird as a mail client compared with Eudora, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any (obviously, non-M$) recommendations? I would recommend looking for Thunderbird plugins to make Thunderbird more what you are looking for. I know Thunderbird isn't perfect, but it's modular enough to allow some pretty stunning things if you just tweak it it a little. Every time I evaluate other mail programs I generally keep coming back to Thunderbird. (Currently a plugin that I couldn't do without is Lightning, which adds Calendar and TODO List.) Also, I don't know if you were aware of this, but Eudora isn't exactly going away, it's just merging to use Thunderbird as a backend (in a similar fashion to the way that recent versions of Netscape were just branded versions of Firefox)... Eudora's Penelope plugin to Thunderbird is designed to bring Eudora tricks to Thunderbird's UI. Here's where I found to download recent releases of Eudora-branded Thunderbird: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Eudora_Releases More about the Penelope project: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope Maybe that plugin will help you. I have to admit that I never used Eudora, so I don't have any idea of whether the Penelope project is sufficient or not. -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Some people like GnuMail, which originated as the Mail application in the Next OS, and is somewhat related to Mail.app on Mac OS X. Evidently, it runs on Windows, if you're settled on that OS.
