Hello,
Anyone else on Eudora?
I've been using Eudora on my Mac for zillions of years.
Hardly any problems, and I like all the possibilities it offers.
If I have problems, it's because my provider doesn't like images
pasted into messages and throws them away as spam.
If you are even moderately dependable on your email client "just
working" without rude interruption, I would counsel that you begin right
away to evaluate other Mac email clients because Eudora is a
discontinued product. There will be no further upgrades, patches, or
releases, and Qualcomm no longer supports it (not that the user-support
they claimed to offer in the past - even to paid customers - was in any
way prompt or accurate).
My suggestion to begin your process now of evaluating & switching to
something else comes out of sorry experience. I was a Eudora user and
made heavy use of its rich feature set for years. My business (and
sometimes, it feels like, my life) depend on constant access to email
and also upon the organizational tools within my email client that help
me easily call up views of what I need to respond to, follow up on, take
action on, study, etc. Suddenly one day my ISP moved my account to a new
server and, BOOM, Eudora could no longer send mail.
I probably could have spent hours or days troubleshooting this and
making Eudora work again. But that would have been a lot of effort
expended on unsupported software that may suddenly break again as server
technology and mail standards and transport protocols evolve.
I ended up switching to Thunderbird, available from
<http://www.mozilla.com> ... but now there is talk of it being a
deprecated project in favor of the very popular Firefox browser from the
same organization. A related title that I just started checking out
today and so far like very much (for one thing the UI on Mac just looks
soooooo much better than Thunderbird and Firefox) is Seamonkey
(incorporates a Browser, Email, Chat client, and Web-authoring tool into
one application), downloadable from <http://www.mozilla.org> ... see the
"other projects" link from the home page).
I could share more info and opinion re various email clients for Mac,
but this is already way way way off topic. I keep meaning to blog my
experience, but, o well, life is short and time flies!
