What do you mean by "managing separately multiple accounts"? Thunderbird's account settings are more complete and flexible than "classic" Eudora's, although much else in Thunderbird leaves "classic" Eudora still superior, IMO. By the way, posting a release announcement is not a recommendation to switch -- just informing those who may have been waiting for news. --

I'm still getting along with 6.2.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.4, and it's still OK, but not great. I don't want to give up too much functionality with a migration to a new client though. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 9.9.1.287 wj8DBQFMPd3PDlQHnMkeAWMRAjcsAJ9jqPJgvy+ywrkKCSSmIN3J5zhAoQCZAXze FEShSElZnMaF6VgmyL2kX7s= =JwJm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Julian Y.

There is no comparison :) On the other hand, E-OSE is comparable to Thunderbird (which it is), so the comparison is basically between Thunderbird and Eudora, FWIW. Mac Eudora has its own differences from Windows Eudora, to add to the difficulty of making one comparison for everyone, besides the fact that different people care different amounts about different characteristics of each program. Certain things that classic Eudora never did well, or at all (handle all languages with UTF-8, forward all HTML email exactly as received) are fine in Thunderbird, while other things at which Eudora excels may leave Thunderbird wanting. > I don't want to give up too much functionality > with a migration to a new client You can install and use E-OSE in parallel with classic Eudora, since they use no files or data in common, which could give you all the personalized answers you may need, by direct experience. If you already have Thunderbird installed, E-OSE and Thunderbird may share the same data ("profile"), although the program files are entirely separate. Use "Leave mail on [POP] server" to share incoming POP mail between clients. "Bcc:" outgoing mail to yourself to keep copies in other clients. One day this will all be moot, anyway, as the entire world stampedes toward Gmail :) -- |
