Eudora 8 development evolved into being '''Eudora OSE'''. Eudora OSE evolved from an experimental add-on Penelope - a re-imagining and re-implementation of classic Eudora features on top of the Mozilla Thunderbird codebase.


The "Penelope" project's intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.
Eudora and OSE no longer exist, nor is there support. Users might instead try [https://getthunderbird.com Thunderbird].


We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird.  It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.
== Trademarks ==


== Roadmap ==
QUALCOMM and Eudora are registered trademarks of QUALCOMM Incorporated.
 
Our roadmap is as yet fairly indefinite.  Part of the reason for that is we want feedback from you, the user community, on just what Eudora features are a priority for you.  We will have two feedback releases before we make the first release intended for general use.
 
=== Current Status ===
 
The team is currently working on an extension that remaps keys and provides some other UI functionality.  We will submit that as soon as we are comfortable with it.
 
Note that if you are a current Eudora user who wishes to give Thunderbird a try, the Thunderbird importers for Eudora are a bit rough, especially for MacOS users.  It may be worth waiting to try to import your mail until we make some improvements to the importers.

=== Release 0.1 ===
 
* Importers for your mail store and contacts
* Remapping of accelerator keys
* Basic settings and personalities
 
We expect this release to provide a bare minimum for Eudora users to feel comfortable, so that they can provide feedback and get involved in development.
 
The initial patch for the penelope extension (and associated files) was added 11/22/06 to bugzilla: bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359231 359231].
 
=== Release 0.5 ===
 
* Filter importing
* Major UI Elements
* Unique Eudora message handling operations
 
We expect this release to be useable by the most adventurous Eudora users.
 
=== Release 1.0 ===
 
* Stationery
* Import for all Settings
* Minor UI elements
 
We expect this release to be comfortable for the vast majority of Eudora users.
 
=== The Future ===
 
Once we finish version 1.0, we will divide our attention between bringing over some of the more obscure Eudora features and customizations, and doing new work.  We expect to track the Thunderbird roadmap, including calendar integration, and also to bring new ideas and capabilities to both mailers.  We will flesh out this section of the roadmap based on user input
