A full-equipped Eudora? :-) No, but I would have expected the basic functions to work, like receiving mail, sending mail and replying to it, no matter where people have their e-mail account. > > > But they still call it a very early beta, and there's still quite a > > > long row of threads reporting bugs.

I would've expected a great deal more than that, since their web site recently indicated that the full 1.0 release would be coming mid-May. SignatureSteve W.

Now they are saying early June. I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude... the software is obviously not ready yet, but let's see what it looks like when it is more fully developed. I expect that we'll have to wait beyond early June for that, though.

Eudora is a big collection of functionality and bringing it to future macs is not an easy task. I don´t plan moving to Odysseus before end of the year. If it has the basic features I need at that time, waiting was worth it.

They got a lot of that worked out in the private beta, but a few people still have trouble sending and receiving... most notably Gmail users -- they say that they will have that working in a few days.

Links which apparently relate to IDS or to its principal (it may be a company of 1-4 people): Infinity Data Systems ("was founded in 2006") http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/31310/Infinity+Data+Systems,+LLC http://www.robtex.com/whois/infinitydatasystems.com.html http://www.infinitydatasystems.com/development/ Product: SimpleBooks Lite - 1.0 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32701 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/127053 Product: SimpleBooks Pro - 1.0 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32777 http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/130966 Milano [Web] Design http://www.freelancedesigners.org/profile/14846 [same phone #] http://www.freelancedesigners.org/profiles/portfolio.cfm?p=14846 http://www.webhostingstuff.com/comments/ServerPowered-2113.html http://www.milano-design.com/ [domain for sale?] Any relation to this person? http://www.linkedin.com/in/getajob I neglected to note, as to the only previous products claimed by IDS: "Having recently ACQUIRED the SimpleBooks product line, we will be improving them extensively over the next few months.. as well as making them free for all users." http://www.infinitydatasystems.com/simplebooks/ SimpleBooks forums: http://www.infinitydatasystems.com/forums/ -- Thanks very much for those links. The site milano-design was a bit of a surprise. As to Odysseus, I agree with Roberta: wait and see is the only thing to do. If Odysseus is more or less the first (big) piece of software IDS designs, that would explain a lot.

The beta that is in use will not allow mail to be deleted from the server In fact there is no current option to allow it to do so even if you wanted to do it. This will be added later in a more stable build SignatureKeep you in the dark You know they all pretend Keep you in the dark And so it all began > > Meanwhile I'm discovering the > > beauty of Apple Mail > > Just don't delete a Mail account, without saving your InBox. <:) Thanks!

My question was does this beta affect my current Eudora setup? Can I run the beta without affecting my current Eudora? > In article > <kroner-30185-3B6FB5.18271426052008@70-3-168-216.area5.spcsdns.net>, [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > My question was does this beta affect my current Eudora setup? > Can I run the beta without affecting my current Eudora? Yes, it is completely different software that stores its files in different locations.
