Eudora (email client)

Eudora is an e -mail program for Windows and Mac, which is named after the American author Eudora Welty.

The program was developed in 1988 by Steve Dorner during his studies at the University of Illinois. 1991, the company Qualcomm, a company active in the research and development of communication technology enterprises, the development and distribution of the software took over.

Originally, there were a free and a Pro version two versions of Eudora. Today there are three different versions: Adware, payware and the classic light mode with limited functionality. Since October 2006, the version 7.1 is current, the Mac version has the version number 6.2.4.

One advantage is that Eudora does not necessarily require an installation. So it is suitable for use on external hard drives or USB sticks.

Technical support for Eudora is set.

Weaken

Eudora ignores the specified character encoding of incoming messages (see MIME types ) and puts them therefore often incorrect or illegible dar.

Further developed it ever since., Under the project name Penelope as an open -source program, which is based technically on Mozilla Thunderbird, but is based in the use of Eudora Qualcomm is supporting the project with Penelope staff.
