I&#8217;ve mentioned Eudora plenty of times on this blog and back in 2006, I reported on the &#8216;open-sourcing&#8217; of this Grande Olde Dame of e-mailing (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=1296\">Oct 11th, 2006<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=1540\">June 24th, 2007<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=1597\">Sept. 5th, 2007<\/a>). Technically, <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Eudora_OSE\">Eudora OSE<\/a> (as it&#8217;s formally called) is anything but Eudora: it&#8217;s more or less a &#8216;reimaging&#8217; of Thunderbird (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozillamessaging.com\/en-US\/thunderbird\/\">the Mozilla mailer<\/a>), that is, with Eudora-style icons and graphics and some of the distinguishing features.\n<\/p>\n<p>And to be honest, it smells and feels like Thunderbird: gone are Eudora&#8217;s excellent MDI interface, filtering methods and grouping of mailboxes. I&#8217;m not sure what the point was of the announcement of &#8216;Eudora going open-source&#8217;: it hasn&#8217;t really because some portions of the Eudora contained propriety code. Eudora (the actual client) is still available however and apparently, if you want to use it, you can find\/get the appropriate (legal?) registration codes right from the Interwebs.\n<\/p>\n<p>Should you care about mail clients these days? Since everybody is using on-line mail services these days, you might think there&#8217;s no point of using external mailers. On the other hand, a mail client would offer the possibility of making your own backups of your (own) e-mails and have them handy at your own perusal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So once in a while, this blog acts as my right-side brain part.
