[AccessD] OT- Recommendations on Eudora

Darren,
 
Sorry to hear your University has gone over to the Dark Side.  <grin>
My shop  is strictly M$.  The only things we have on our PC's that do
not come from M$ are some apps that make working with M$ Windows and
Office easier.  When M$ finally gets around to adding those features to
Windows/Office, then those independent apps will go too.
 
Back in the dark ages when IBM dominated the mainframe market, they
invented the FUD factor to intimidate managers into going all IBM.  Now
M$ uses the FUD factor on managers to go all M$.  Until managers become
technically sophisticated, somebody will always be able to get away with
FUD and we techies will have to suffer.

 Hi Rocky
I totally agree with all the others who comment positively on Eudora.
Our Firm (An Australian University) is moving in the opposite direction.
We will be using Exchange and as a result have all been asked to move 
from Eudora to Outlook.
<Rant Mode On>
After using Outlook for the last 2 months I cannot bag it enough. I am
convinced it is
the software incarnation of the Prince of Darkness himself. It is tripe.
Eudora is vastly superior in every way from an email point of view.
<Rant Mode Off>
 
One of my most used and thus most missed features of Eudora was...
I could assign a sound file when one of my filters was activated.
(Outlook calls them rules. What a PITA they are in Outlook too)
Like the rest of you I get about 80 to 120 emails a day. Everything was
filtered,
I mean everything, and I had different sound files playing when certain
rules cut in.
I miss it so much. All I can do in outlook is activate 1 single sound
when any email arrives. That's it.
It was a great tool to make sure important/urgent emails got the
appropriate attention.
 
Anyway, Eudora IM not so HO is vastly superior.
 
I want to go back to Eudora but our IT doods say nope. <sigh>
 
Darren

	Dear List:
	 
	I'm considering switching mail programs.  Does anyone have any
experience with Eudora Light?  I'm currently using Outlook Express.
