Re: OT: Eudora a good alternative to Thunderbird?

Hello Folks,

After the umpteenth freeze where I can't get any email to the laptop I've had it with Thunderbird. Mozilla was good and a lot less buggy but it ain't now more, only the huge SeaMonkey version.

Eudora now says on the site that the no-nagware version (paid) is no longer being sold. Does this mean Eudora may be going away?


Eudora are planning on releasing their code as open source - I don't know how far they've got with the plan, but hopefully it will still be around as an alternative (I like Thunderbird myself, and have never had a crash or hang despite pushing it hard - but it's always good to have a variety available).

Have you any idea what causes your problems with Thunderbird? My company is pretty much standardised on it, and most people use it at work and at home. We use an IMAP server - I have not used it for POP3 - which may make a difference.

As for other email clients, there is always Opera if you like the browser (it's not my cup of tea, but some people prefer it), and there is Evolution for Windows http://shellter.sourceforge.net/evolution/ (I haven't tried it).

mvh.,
