Thunderbirdy
Running Eudora through Parallels the past year and a half has been annoying, to say the least. Much of it was that it was just so slow – I want to say it's because my mailboxes were stored on the Mac partition and not within Parallels, but I'm not really sure.
Eudora for Mac was not an option, unfortunately, because I had to convert the mailboxes, and I would lose some message markers (and statuses, I think). Converting the mailboxes was not successful, anyway.
So it's been a slow move to abandon a program that's been good to me the past decade (!), and with so much history saved, who would? But it had to happen. And I did it last night with the most logical choice: Mozilla Thunderbird.
It's taken a couple of hours all together since last night, but I'm back up with email in a native setting. I can finally keep Parallels shut when I don't need CQDE.
Thanks to the following software for making this transition possible:
- Eudora Mailbox Cleaner – conversion
- FreePOPs – awesome program. Took an idea I wanted to try out
PS – Happy Futon Day!
