Geen Thunderbird voor mij

Nog steeds stap ik voor mijn e-mail niet af van Eudora Mail. Ik ben dit programma jaren geleden gaan gebruiken, in de tijd dat ik nog in dienst was voor het voormalige WorldOnline (nu Tiscali). We gebruikten dat programma voor het afhandelen van de e-mail van klanten. Dat is, voordat men eindelijk een mailbot installeerde. En voordat iemand op het niet zo heldere idee kwam dat Exchange moest worden ingevoerd.

Hoe dan ook, Eudora blijft zichzelf verbeteren. Steeds meer leuke functies voor de toch wat meer geavanceerde gebruiker. Wat niet wegneemt dat het programma ook voor een beginnend gebruiker goed geschikt is. Er is nu een nieuwe beta versie beschikbaar, versie 6.1.b3. De changelog vertelt ons:

----------------------------------------------
CHANGES FROM 6.0.3 TO 6.1
----------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES
------------
Search Bar and Search Context Menus. Eudora now makes it easier than ever to search with the introduction of a new "Search Bar" in the toolbars and new context menu items that search for the current selection. Both allow you to search inside Eudora or start an Internet search.

Smarter Transfer to Selection. In 6.0 we quietly introduced "Transfer to Selection", which allows you to right-click on a word in a message and have Eudora try to figure out to which mailbox you might want to transfer the message. Now in 6.1 we've improved the feature by presenting the choice of multiple mailboxes whose names most closely match the text (if there are few or no choices offered then there aren't any mailboxes with names sufficiently close to the selected text). Simply choose a mailbox name from the context menu and Eudora will transfer the message into that mailbox. You can specify the maximum number of matches that Eudora should show via .

Content Concentrator Profile Control. The Content Concentrator feature in Eudora has been enhanced with the introduction of the "Profile Control". The "Profile Control" allows you to change how Content Concentrator is concentrating your selected message(s) in the preview pane on the fly. Simply click on the "Profile Control" and choose a new profile. The "Profile Control" can be found above the "Preview Pane" between the "Mailbox Size Display" and the horizontal scrollbar.

Better Automatic IMAP Synchronization. Eudora can now synchronize specific IMAP mailboxes on every mail check - just choose "Resynchronize on Mail Check" in the IMAP mailbox context menu.

Easier Mass IMAP Synchronization. You can now resync an entire mailbox tree (a folder and all mailboxes inside of it) in one step via the new "Resynchronize Tree" command, which can be found in the IMAP mailbox context menu.


MESSAGE DISPLAY & EDITING
-------------------------
Fix for case where with certain messages Eudora's built in viewer would not display the complete text in the full message window.

Editing the justification of excerpted text no longer removes the excerpt bars.

Eudora no longer incorrectly displays "urn:schemas-microsoft-com" lines in messages sent from Outlook.


MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS
--------------------------
Improved menu and control drawing with Windows XP.

Changing the server status of a selection of messages now shows progress.

Improved importers.

Now support moving folders via drag and drop in mail tree list.


MISCELLANEOUS BUG FIXES
-----------------------
"Junk" and "Not Junk" commands now work properly in the "Find Messages" window.

Fixed bug that caused Eudora to think ads were failing when they were not.

Fixed folder renaming in the mailbox list (this was broken in 6.0).

Fix for context menus in address book edit fields.

Eudora is now more tolerant of really long server and/or login names.

No longer accepting directories as attachments via drag & drop.

Fixed bug where a misconfigured virus scanner interfering with Eudora could confuse Eudora and cause it to leave subsequent messages in that mail check in the spool file as .tmp files.

Fixed focus problem in Tools|Options dialog.

Renaming or moving mailboxes or folders no longer causes problems with results in Search window.

Nu heb ik sinds versie 6.0.3 wat ruzie met het omhoog scrollen. Ik hoop dat dit nog wordt opgepakt voordat versie 6.1 uitkomt. Ik heb het wel als bug doorgegeven. Ik vind het in ieder geval geen feature...
