Nice; pretty much works, including searches - Version: 8.0.0b9, 3/5/2010 10:17AM PST

The only feature that I miss is stationery, which is scheduled for the 1.0 release. Filters & messages from Eudora 6.2.4 imported correctly. No crashes in a couple of months. Of course, Eudora doesn't have the integration with OS X like Apple Mail. However, at this point, it's a real application, not just vaporware.
Not reliable - Version: 8.0.0b6, 2/24/2010 08:45AM PST

While Eudora seems to work fine, I now get troubles that people I send messages to can't read attachments or even the complete mail. But you only become aware of this, when they expect mail from you, you don't get any warning.
Next to this, Eudora also have some irritating issues, like switching to other fonts than the one you heave chosen, while typing an message. Also irritating is the way to read attachments.
So you better cannot use this app.

Recipients vs. Senders - Version: 8.0.0b7, 10/7/2009 06:38PM PST

There is a poorly iconed pull-down menu above the scroll arrow at the upper right of the message list pane. In this menu are two occurrences of the item "Who." The top one enables Recipients; the bottom one enables Senders (I have only the bottom one checked). This feature is by no means clear - I worked it out through trial and error. The first trick is to find the blasted pull-down menu. The Recipients/Senders feature is a Penelope add-on item. It's not present in the Thuderbird or even Eudora without Penelope.
By the way, I've found that Penelope has serious problems in OS X 10.6.1. With a message selected in the message pane, any keyboard input moves one or another message to the trash. If you have the trash in the message window, keyboard input will delete a selected message entirely. As a result, I have had to disable Penelope in Eudora, which rather defeats the purpose of using the Eudora version of Thunderbird. I have not reported this issue because filing bug reports for Eudora remains, as it has been for a very long time, incredibly tedious. As always with Eudora, you just have to hope they will find and fix the bug eventually - I call that the Eudora tax. Even though the program is now free, that tax remains. The developers continue to hide behind a screen of open source gobbledegook. Given that they make user feedback so difficult, I wonder why they even bother with the Eudora/Penelope project. Given the long intervals between updates, they clearly don't bother very much.
