Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / January 2007Eudora, OS X and plugins
Let me preface my question by stating that I'm running OS 9.2.2 and Eudora 4.2.2 (blasts from the past), but am getting an Intel Mac next week - I currently have zero experience on OS X. I've used Eudora for years, and am very happy with it. Will the plugins "Kill X-Sender" and "SuperSleek" work in Eudora 6.2.4? Andrew Starr's Emailman says theoretically they should in 5.1. And can you still use the Eudora X-Settings to modify Eudora's behavior? Also, many have choosen to stay with Eudora instead of moving to Apple's Mail. Can I inquire briefly why? Thank you in advance. > Will the plugins "Kill X-Sender" and "SuperSleek" work in Eudora 6.2.4? I do not have SuperSleek on my OS X Mac with Eudora 6.2.4. However, Kill-X-Sender is here. No problem. > Also, many have choosen to stay with Eudora instead of moving to > Apple's Mail. Can I inquire briefly why? May I ask why I should change? Apple's Mail was "trial and error" in the beginning; it may work properly now but I don't feel any necessity to change my mail application. Christian.  SignatureChristian F.

However, > Kill-X-Sender is here. No problem. I have used 'SuperSleek' with 10.2 and Eudora 6.1.1 and it worked fine. I'm now using 'Esoteric Settings' instead (no particular reason) with 10.3.9. The plugins all seem to work without trouble. SignaturePeter [...] > Will the plugins "Kill X-Sender" and "SuperSleek" work in Eudora 6.2.4? SuperSleek works fine with Eudora 6.2.4. Ther's a minor bug with its icons display in the prefs pane. If that bothers you, there's a patched version that fixes this, called "Sleek-A-Boo Plugin". > [...] can > you still use the Eudora X-Settings to modify Eudora's behavior? Sure. Just make sure to get an up to date listing of all the settings. They have changed (and many have been added). > Also, many have choosen to stay with Eudora instead of moving to > Apple's Mail. Can I inquire briefly why? Because Eudora is way more configurable/powerful and doesn't delete all your mail when you delete an account/personality. The only Mail.app feature I miss is "smart" mailboxes, but you can configure Eudora to achieve something reasonably close to it. Word is that for Eudora's IMAP implementation isn't exactly great though, so for some that seems a compelling reason to switch.

Or rather, Peter Gildea). > > [...] can > > you still use the Eudora X-Settings to modify Eudora's behavior? > > Sure.

You can get the up-to-date list by sending a blank email message to the <x-eudora-settings@tidbits.com> auto-reply address. > > Also, many have choosen to stay with Eudora instead of moving to > > Apple's Mail.

In the end, it wasn't so much any one thing, but a thousand little things that would really annoy me if they weren't there that convinced me to stay. For anyone that writes and gets a lot of email, you want software that you can configure. And really, I had no compelling reason to leave.
