Review
Eudora is a wonderful email client. Over the years, the makers of Eudora have found efficient and elegant solutions to just about all email problems as they have surfaced. Eudora also has solutions for problems you probably do not have (like “MoodWatch,” the amusing indicator of aggressive vocabulary), but for the most part, Eudora is a flexible, fast and easy to use an email program. Eudora lets you read and write emails in style, of course. Eudora’s message rules are versatile, and it’s easy to eliminate spam using the precise Bayesian filter, dubbed “SpamWatch.” “ScamWatch” looks for spoofed URLs in phishing emails that want to trick you into handing sensitive data to criminals. ScamWatch fares pretty well but does not catch all fraud attempts, so it still pays to be alert. The same applies to “BossWatch” which alerts you when you’re about to send mail to certain domains. Finding mail is solved elegantly and fast with an X1 index search. While you can block Eudora from loading remote content in emails automatically, more flexible controls would be excellent. Eudora comes with a flexible template system for canned replies, the “Eudora Sharing Protocol” (ESP) is very easy to use, albeit proprietary, way to sync files automatically, and the content concentrator trims quoted text nicely. It’s a pity that Eudora doesn’t come with integrated secure messaging, and it would be nice if Eudora could use its Bayesian engine to sort mail automatically.
