== Eudora OSE 1.0 on Mac, mailbox search and transfer mails == | |||
I have been using the old Eudora (6.2 or older) for many years, as I really liked it, but it developed other problems. I tried Thunderbird and version 8 before but I found they were not at the level I could use. I finally found Eudora OSE acceptable, and decided to switch over. I spent a few days to import all my mail files. The important thing for me is to be able to search mail boxes, as I have hundreds of mailboxes of many different committees, etc., and I constantly sort out incoming mails (and mails I sent out). It was very easy on the old Eudora (6.2): on the Mailboxes window, I click command-F, and type in the name of mailbox I need, then the folder is immediately shown on the Mailboxes window. I wonder why the new version of Eudora cannot do this. | |||
Eudora OSE 1.0 basically does not have a function of searching mailboxes, but I found a clumsy way to do it. I search for some messages that possibly are in the mail box I am looking for. The searched list shows the mail box in which the message is stored. I click on it, then click "Open Folder" button. Then, the mailbox I was looking for opens. This is the only way I could search mailboxes, but it is troublesome, and I really hope it can be made much easier like the old Eudora did. | |||
Another difficulty is message transfer. I cannot move messages from Inbox into mailbox windows. I have to move the message into a folder in Mailbox list, then I end up searching the mailbox manually (Eudora 8 0b9 shows the mailbox folder - why it was changed on OSE?). I could also use right-click on message and choose "Transfer To" option (the mailbox I just opened is listed on top of Recent), but the computer mutes for 15 seconds. I think this is because I have a big size of mail folder (10 GGB). Again, the old version (6.2.4) was so easy, just grab messages into different windows and transfer was instant. | |||
Also, the 15 seconds mute occurs also when I click Transfer, Mailbox, Tools, on the top menu. I think this is the problem only when there are huge amount of mails stored (like me). | |||
Otherwise I really like other aspects of new Eudora OSE. I really hope the problems above will be solved soon. | |||
