I think it would be useful to have a feature comparison table comparing (a) Thunderbird with (b) Thunderbird+Penelope with (c) Eurdora, in particular, showing (i) which features are present (ii) Planned (iii) Will never appear. --[[User:Iantresman|Iantresman]] 08:18, 4 March 2008 (PST) | I think it would be useful to have a feature comparison table comparing (a) Thunderbird with (b) Thunderbird+Penelope with (c) Eurdora, in particular, showing (i) which features are present (ii) Planned (iii) Will never appear. --[[User:Iantresman|Iantresman]] 08:18, 4 March 2008 (PST) | ||

I haven't seen much discussion/feedback on the Eudora 8 Address Book so I started a new topic. I have been using and selling the retail version of Qualcomm Eudora since about V4.0, and used the free one since about 2.0. | |||
Eudora 7.1.0.9 [paid] is my primary email and contact management system. I have 24 address books, 1000+ eMail address, many with full contact info and multiple addresses. I keep about 5 years of history with 1GB+ of mail with 14000+ messages in 1200 mailboxes, and another 1.5GB of attachments, and over 100 automatic filters for incoming mail. Performance is great, and everything works well except that Filter Editing frequent crashes Eudora with an Access Violation. HTML message comosition sucks. Paste/insert multiple GIF images into one message corrupts the layout, and usually loses the animation. | |||
I recently tried my first migration from Eudora 7 to Eudora 8b3 and everything went well until, but address book import. The import feature did not find any named address books, and only read the entries in the Nicknames list. | |||
Eudora 7 has a great address book with tabbed panels for work, home, other info. You can create as many address books as you like and they are stored in separate files in the Nickname folder called "bookname".nnt/.toc, where bookname in different for each group of addresses [contacts, clients, suppliers, friends, family, etc.] I currently have 24 address books with over one thousand email addresses and they would be unmanageable if dumped into one flat, ustructured address book. You can add key contacts to a Recipient List for pull-down insertion into message headers. There is also a History List for manually entered addresses, but it is a bit quirky, and bad addresses can take precendence over the Address Book entries. | |||
I think that I could start using Eudora 8 if it had all the Address Book features currently enjoyed in Eudora 7, with proper import support. I'm looking forward to the next installment! | |||
Other migration observations: most filters imported successfully, but mail import ignored the sent items folder or out box. | |||
