DESCRIPTION

Eudora... Now based on Mozilla Thunderbird. The Penelope project's intention is to join the Eudora user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.

We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so both mailers advance faster than they previously have.

Eudora has been a QUALCOMM product for many years. QUALCOMM continues to have a keen interest in the users of Eudora, and is being kind enough to donate the time of staff members to the Penelope project.

PROGRAMHAPPY  Developer, can you please add the option to sort all messages in the inbox by EMAIL ADDRESS, not just by "sender"? I run a business, and deal with hundreds of different customers every day. I need to sort by email address! Can you please add an optional "Email" column? You'll be my hero! I'm sure that countless other people would also appreciate this sorting option.

Thank you!

HERBERT KROEMER  In the original Eudora, it is possible to fully edit the contents of all mailboxes. Is this capability retained in the new versions?

**...

DRG  This latest beta is TERRIBLE. I would strongly urge people to stick with v.b6.

1) Clicking on the help option causes an IMMEDIATE crash, and the result is toxic: If you revert back to b6, it continues to crash.

2) Received messages: under "who" it shows who it is TO rather than who it is FROM so all you see under "who" is your name. And I couldn'tfigure out how to fix this.

This program is getting to be like Quicken: give a few minor updates, with tons of bugs, when some of the important features have still not been implemented. Yes I appreciate that this is freeware, and is being produced by volunteers, but if you are going to give us this, why not just leave it as it is and say this is the final version.

I'm one who is willing to pay an annual fee for this program, but only if we don't get stuff like this.

STEVE R  I tried various versions and keep coming back to 6.2.4 because it works, even in Snow Leopard with the Rosetta installation (3.6MB)

****.

JOFALLON  It's still a work-in-progress, but it's getting there. It does seem to be quite stable, for me anyway, and it (oddly) gives me fewer problems than Apple Mail, which is tells me it needs to be have its indexes rebuilt periodically. I'm still keeping an eye on MailForge and Postbox, but this looks like it will be good enough.

DRG  My comments from the previous version apply again to this version. Doesn't seem to be a significant change. Perhaps someone can enlighten me here.
