thunderbird +1
Surprised you couldn't import the old Eudora files, I have swapped 3 sets of old Eudora setups across to Thunderbird without any problems including all mail messages and address books.
Just updated to the latest version, a few new toys to play with by the look of it. Would like to see if support for MS Exchange Server has progressed so I can cull Outlook from my work PC.
Another vote for Thunderbird. I'm using it for years and run my whole business on Thunderbird and OpenOffice. Checking heaps of different email accounts some POP and some IMAP and no problems. Also when migrating to a new PC it's very easy to copy the whole lot across.
I'm selling MS products to my clients every day and don't think Thunderbird is missing anything. Different story if you run Exchange server.

Hi Supermono. Does this mean that you imported Eudora 7.1 info into an earlier than v3 of Thunderbird?Quote:

Another tick for thunderbird - in another thread here you will see I have disabled livemail (it was really annoying)
i use TheBat, professional version
it costs money but is bullet proof, has an easy backup and restore that actually works and there are free anti spam modules that work with it, some nice pay ones as well.
way to many features to list here but my favourite is the way you can completely different signatures and auto responders for each folder and sorting rules you lay out.. pretty powerful stuff if you take the time to delve into it or have need of this sort of power.
there are utilities to import most mail types into it if the builtin import cant cope.
Well, I tried to install Thunderbird, as it seemed popular, and I really like Firefox.:)
Then the troubles started. Thunderbird will not work with Bigpond email accounts. Bigpond refuse to support it (no surprise there...) and it appears they will only support Outlook. :mad:
So, what are my options now? I am running Win 7. :confused:
If only Open Office came with an email program. I bet that would work... :cool:
I use Outlook and have done at work and home for years. It interfaces and syncs seamlessly with my PDA and mobile phone.
Why doesn't it work with Bigpond? Doesn't Bigpond offer POP3 or IMAP?Quote:

But on the searches I have done, and looking at Whirlpool etc, it would appear that it is a common problem.:(
As for using Outlook, I would but that would mean that I have to buy it... :eek:
