 :: I also just set up Eudora 8.0.0 beta for MSWindows.  It is a lot like Thunderbird.  Have one problem though:  How do you allow Eudora 8 to display graphics contained in emails that are received.  As installed, it displays empty graphics boxes (place holders) with a "clickable" link in the upper left corner.  Can anyone help? - (posted by [[User:Droufa]] on 2007 Nov 1)
+== 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!
