Eudora 8 vs Eudora 7
Alfred Molon
Eudora 8 (8.0b8) on my computer. It took a very long time to import all
emails from Eudora 7, then it started indexing all emails. After several
hours I closed Eudora 8. Eudora 8 seems a bit slow compared to Eudora 7.

Eudora 8 is /Thundora/ (Thunderbird with skins :P ) ...
It is not your old Eudora.
So...
Why do you /need/ to change?
Something your ISP forces on you that E7 does not support?

I first saw that name usage over a year ago.

I was wondering if Eudora 8 brings some benefits compared to Eudora 7.
No idea, but perhaps Eudora 8 is the newer software, still being
developed.

o "Eudora 8" is Thunderbird (version 3)
o Handles UTF-8 (all languages).
o Probably better at forwarding HTML messages.
o Less capable at filtering, searching, logging.
o Lacks other "classic" features.
o Also does newsgroups, RSS feeds.
o Has all new bugs.
Thanks to "Leave mail on server,"
and the fact that E8 and E7
install completely independent of one another,
you can use both at the same time, and decide what you prefer.
E8 and TB install programs separately,
but share the mail and settings (TB "profile")

Hi Laura, it's been a long time. I still lurk around acv in the hope
that one day you'll brighten up the monotony of it all.

I'm still here, just lurking. As always, I only post when I have
something to say. ;-)
And fwiw, I'm still using Eudora 7.1.

"Eudora 8" is now caught up with the actual release of Thunderbird 3.
8.0b9 is now based on TB 3.0.1, very close to the current TB 3.0.3
Yes, it's just been updated today (6 March 2010)
You can alternate between TB3 and E8 if you wish;
each has its own set of program files,
but a common TB mail and settings "profile"

filters. No idea how to get them to import. Downloaded 135 messages
all went to the Inbox and the filter area has no filters..

I am not ready to even considering switching. I have hundreds of filters. I
have 247 mailboxes. My Eudora data folder is 1.56 GB. Maybe days to index?

Yeah. Myself, I need support for wildcard filters, and it looks like I
will have to wait a long, long time for this essential feature.
