I've been using Eudora several hours a day since at least 1998. And I just installed the 8.0 beta on windows 11 and have been successfully migrating my mailboxes (all 700 of them, carefully nested - so I'm taking about 30 turns to do that, so as not to crash the system).
However Eudora 8 won't check my email - it gets stuck logging into the server. I contacted my email host about setting it up for IMAP since on Windows 10 I used pop, but they said I had everything set fine, including one port change they told me to make, which I did.
Some of the Eudora discussions suggest installing Hermes first, but others say that Hermes hasn't been upgraded in several years, and Eudora 8 is more uptodate - and in fact I couldn't install Hermes because I got the error message that I already have more recent version of its key files installed.
Anyway, I'm looking for help in being able to check my email (about 100+ a day) on Windows 11. In the meantime, I'm having to use my previous Eudora as an archive and find a new email program to start anew.
I loved Eudora better than any emailer I ever used. Bring back Eudora. I miss you terribly. I still have emails in there and keep a record of so many things.
Linda Baldwin,
No email program comes close to Eudora. Extremely fed-up and disgusted with Outlook. Bring back Eudora and charge for the service and I will pay for each of my staff to have it on their computer and Android.
Been using it since it came out. It's easier, faster to use, finds messages quickly, and the interface is not cluttered and clunky like so many of the others. I wish it was still current, I'd pay $65 for an up to date copy!
