I really liked Eudora. Almost immediately after paying for it though, a plugin I had for it broke and the whole program became corrupted. Reinstalling didn’t fix the problem. I had to go back and forth with their tech support and only got a partial solution, and that was with waiting a full day between responses from them. The ’solution’ I got only removed all the preferences I had set and didn’t fix the problem at all. I finally stumbled across the offending file and fixed the issue by manually deleting it. I was so mad about that. And Eudora consistantly ignores some of my spam filters, insisting on putting mail for bad addresses in my Inbox instead of just deleting it.

And yeah, since then, I’ve been less than thrilled with Eudora.

I spent a while last night importing my accounts and mail into Thunderbird, then figuring out how to turn on the global inbox and how to change passwords. I’ll have to reserve judgment until I’ve used it a bit longer and trained the jumk mail filters, but the recommendation from you was good impetus to attempt the switch.

I used to be a die-hard Eudora user as well, always keeping up with the paid upgrades (one of a very few Net programs that I felt were worth it), but eventually the product seemed to stagnate. Thunderbird, like Firefox, has that drive to improve, providing a wealth of solid built-in tools like the junk filters as well as the ability to add extensions.

Let me know if you run into any issues with either of them. I’ll do what I can to help. :D

I’ve been using Eudora for years and even upgraded to paid status earlier this year. I tried the mail feature in Mozille Firebird and it didn’t work with the multitude of email addresses that I had. But, that was quite a while ago. So I figured I’d give Thunderbird a shot. I’m importing everything now. Wish me luck. :)
