Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / March 2007

I'm having a tough time dealing with the Address Book in Eudora paid
on this MacBook Pro Intel.  Unbeknownst to me, the Palm synch program
Missing Synch was synching all my Treo addresses into Eudora.  Now I

I'm looking for an e-mail client for my Mac, since I find that Mac's
Mail is not up to my standards. I've looked at the Eudora features page,
and it doesn't answer my questions. Would you kindly answer the

Is there any way to get Eudora 6.2.3/6.2.4 to save all sent mail on the
server under IMAP?  All documents I've seen thus far seem to indicate
