A real replacement for Eudora? <http://lowendmac.com/misc/08mr/odysseus-eudora-successor.html> I had seen this before but had forgotten about it till I saw a reminder this evening.

That looks pretty good - like eudora, or as they say nowadays, nothing like eudora! I am happy with mail on the mac but still use eudora on the PC, so was quite suprised when I installed eudora 8 and notice that.. well, it was nothing like eudora, and everything like thunderbird, which I dislike greatly (on any platform).

Will it be able to produce copies of sent mail in a format that's easily readable by other email clients (i.e. html or pain text)? Would have thought that's a given for any IMAP client and the one thing that stopped me from using Eudora. N. > >> A real replacement for Eudora? > >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > N. Too early to say yet. Suggest you join their forums and suggest what you want. At this point, we are at Odysseus 0.5, and it can't do much more than set up accounts, send/receive mail, and move mail to other mailboxes. A release date of 12th May for 1.0 seems optimistic to me. > A real replacement for Eudora? > > <http://lowendmac.com/misc/08mr/odysseus-eudora-successor.html> > > I had seen this before but had forgotten about it till I saw a reminder > this evening. That's terrific news: I hate the feature bloat and slowness of other mail clients. I want an email-client that's small (as in doesn't eat up my screen), fast and out-of-my-face and despite some irritations, Eudora fits the bill. I was truly underwhelmed with the Eudora 8 betas; this one looks much better. >> A real replacement for Eudora? >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Eudora fits the bill.

Yes, it does look promising, even though I got an unrecoverable error when I opened the prefs (most of which aren't yet available). Releasing it in its current state does seem to be stretching the definition of 'beta' somewhat. but I guess they're under all sorts of pressures to get something out there. SignatureTimH pull tooth to reply by email >>>>> A real replacement for Eudora? >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > definition of 'beta' somewhat. but I guess they're under all sorts of > pressures to get something out there. They acknowledge this last point on the forum and say that it is a very early beta but that Eudora users are looking for something now.

I'm a patient person and it looks very promising. They seem to really get what Eudora is all about. SignatureCheers Martin > >>> A real replacement for Eudora? > >>> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > It's clearly still quite an early beta and I wish there was an option > to leave mail on the server. On the contrary, there isn't an option not to: "Regarding leaving mail on the server... At this point Odysseus CANNOT DELETE mail from the server. Because this is a beta, and therefore we're not encouraging people to use it for mission-critical use, we have no intention of even enabling the ability to delete email from the server until the final builds in June" SignaturePd > > >>> A real replacement forEudora? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > intention of even enabling the ability to delete email from the server > until the final builds in June" Seems sensible. -- Thanks, Steve |
