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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

wow great feed back.. thanks a lot!
