Good info here. I think it's time for me to upgrade to 6.2 as well.

Gotta keep up with the "Greens'es" LOL

Have any of you Eudora users tried Thunderbird yet? Just wondering which you liked better and whats different. I think I'm about to go from Outlook to Thunderbird.

I hadn't even heard about it until I read through this thread. I would find it tough to justify changing from Eudora, though. It does everything I need it to do.

Upgraded to 6.2 today as well.

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?

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:::

Simon

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).

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?

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.
