Eudora 8b3 Address Book Still Needs Work

I just tried to migrate from Eudora 7 [paid] to Eudora 8b3 [open] and everything went well until I tried to import my extensive address books. The import feature would not find any named address books, and only brought in the entries in the Nicknames list.

Eudora 7 allows you to create as many address books as you like and creates a file in the Nickname folder called bookname.nnt with an index called bookname.toc. I currently have 23 address books in use with nearly one thousand email addresses.

The other thing that puzzled me was that the Mail Import feature did not bring in the Outbox folder of sent messages. That is a faily searious shortcoming when you depend on mail history for business purposes.

The Filters appear to work well in Eudora 8b3. I use over 100 filters to file incoming messages into appropriate folders and keep my inbox clean. My biggest complaint about Eudora 7 is that the program bombs with an access violation after updating a few filters, or just scrolling down the list with arrow keys. This can be avoided by carefull manual editing of the filters.pce file.

I think Eudora 8 would be ready for prime time if the Address Book could work as well as Eudora 7. Looking forward to the next installment!
