Goodbye Eudora, hello Thunderbird
Eudora, once one of the most popular email clients, is finally being retired. Instead of simply abandoning Eudora's customers, however, Qualcomm is partnering with Mozilla Corp. to create "Penelope," a customized version of Mozilla's Thunderbird email client that will be optimized for Eudora customers.
Penelope is being developed by half-a-dozen of Eudora's most experienced programmers. Their goal is to create a Eudora-user friendly version of Thunderbird that will import their stored mail and contact lists, and all of their Eudora settings.
Specifically, by version 1.0, the following Eudora features will be ported to the new open-source email client:
Importers for mail and contacts
Remapping of accelerator keys
Basic settings and personalities
Filter importing
Major UI elements
Unique Eudora message handling operations
Stationery
Importer for all settings
