Upgraded to 6.2 today as well.

I tried Thunderbird once, but was immediately turned off by the very slow loading of the program (I'm on a fairly fast computer too).

I recommend Mailwasher Pro for a spam filter to use in conjunction with Eudora. Run Mailwasher first and get rid of the spam waiting on your mail server, and then boot up Eudora and download the remaining messages.

Mozill Thunderbird works best for me.I've tried several email clients and decided to use this one.

amber438 · 2005-03-09, 09:36 AM

I used to use incredimail (ok,,go ahead and laugh but I liked the pretty pictures) but for the moost part use Outlook because of the integrated calender. I've looked at a few email programs and thunderbird is just ok, have not looked at Eudora yet, the bat looks interesting, poco mail is pretty kewl, pegasus is ok

That's all I know of..

Those IncrediMail developers are making a killing just with simple HTML email templates... Their "Email has finally evolved" is a joke. |pissright

For the Mac platform, I've been a fan of Eudora since Eudora Light in System 6. I think the new "Mail" program in OS X is very good for personal use, but I wouldn't want to try to keep up with our contact volume with it. Or maybe I just don't want to have to transfer all those "reply with" stationery templates I've created in Eudora over the years. :::grin:::

Eudora 6.2.1

It must have improved since then because I stayed with it over Outlook because it loaded so SUPER fast in contrast to what I'd been experiencing with Outlook over the years.

I also tried Eudora and Pegasus when I was considering switching... didn't like them within about an hour (I'm picky, what can I say?) - but I ended up giving Thunderbird a 30-day trial before removing Outlook completely from my computer.

Trying to use Firefox more as well - I've got it but keep clicking that blue e out of habit... I'm really getting anti-MS lately... and Norton - don't even get me started on that.

Eudora 6.2.1

They are only text files.

I'm using Windows Eudora 6.1 and the latest version of Evolution (whichever version comes w/ Fedora Core 3).

yeah!

I've been using Pegasus for 7 years, never a problem with it.

For my business email client I use a contact manager. I have never used Outlook, but I'm told my contact manager is more powerful than Outlook and I never worry about virus's or trojans.

Yep...actually that's one of the things I like best about Eudora, everything is stored in text files.

I really should have said I wouldn't switch to OS X's Mail application for business email because it doesn't have a "reply with (selected template)" feature like Eudora does. We get a lot of surfer email and 95% can be handled with one of the many hundred customizable responses we've created in Eudora.

I reverted back to Eudora 5.1 today.

The new version I found was quite unstable. Crashing on startup quite often, and also giving me many strange errors. (missing .RCV files?)...

GreenGuy you getting any errors or problems with Eudora 6.2.X?

WWCDonMike · 2005-03-22, 03:23 PM

I've heard a lot of good things about Thunderbird. But I'm used to Outlook, so I don't know if I'd want to go through a change. Can you import your existing emails from Outlook to Thunderbird?

Lunatic · 2005-03-22, 03:57 PM

Outlook Express

Yes... I was able to import all of my existing emails/contacts into Thunderbird from Outlook. It was easier than upgrading virus protection - lol Very simple, and the Thunderbird Forum area helped me configure things easily. I got used to it in about 1 full day of working, lots of cool features not available on Outlook, plus I haven't had missing emails since I switched.

Greenguy · 2005-03-22, 04:39 PM

Evil Chris - I am having problems with it junking mail that I told it was not junk - I think upgrading it is not the answer, but reinstalling it might be the way to go.

Jim · 2005-03-22, 04:43 PM

I had problems until I got my new pc and ended up having to do a new install and start over. No problems with Eudora since. Even if I did have a problem or two, I don't think I would change. I have 6 pop accounts and it works seamlessly between them all.

ArtWilliams · 2005-03-22, 04:57 PM

I use Linux and hence use Kontact. Another Linux alternative is Evolution (which I hear might be ported to Windows). Both are PIMs (Personal Information Managers) and have e-mail, calendars, contacts and to-do lists. As you might expect with Linux, both are free to download and use (a la Firfeox)!

If I used Windows I would use Thunderbird. I am rather interested in something called Chandler which is being developed as a Open Source Software alternative to Outlook. You can find Chandler if you are curious at http://osafoundation.org/. It is currently at version .4 so it has a way to go.

Cheers,

art

Tried that, and those crazy RCV problems got even worse. I can't even find out how to troubleshoot those errors.

Could be because my MBX files are massive. I've got about 4 years of email. No matter, I'll stick with 5.1 until a more stable version comes around.

Linkster · 2005-03-22, 08:58 PM

Chris - sounds like just a bad set of files for the install - I would backup the .ini file so you dont lose your settings and reinstall with a fresh set of downloads - Im using 6.2.0.14 and it runs great - I seem to remember having a similar problem when I first upgraded a while back but just went back and grabbed the download full install and it worked like a charm

Ann Omness · 2005-03-23, 11:35 AM

EvilChris, I haven't had any problems with Eudora 6.2.x since it came out. Of course, I don't try to do anything complicated with it. I use Mailwasher Pro to do all my filtering before I download my remaining mail with Eudora.

Evil Chris · 2005-03-23, 02:38 PM

wow great feed back.. thanks a lot!
