There's also a new notes field the Improved Address Book is handy, but it won't replace your personal information manager by any means. You can store personal, home, work, and other contact information within Eudora. Qualcomm has updated Eudora’s Address Book in version 5.0. Yes, you can turn this off.Īlso new and improved: a Statistics window that shows your peak email usage time forthe day, week, month, and year. Our email saying, “You suck!” earned us three chili peppers and a threat to wash our mouth out with soap.
It monitors incoming and outgoing email messages for aggressive language and then rates the email with zero to three chili peppers (three being the most offensive). Another new feature, Moodwatch, rates high on amusement but low on usefulness. Opening multiple mailboxes still requires you to wade through a sea of windows. Cute icons aside, however, the clunky interface is largely the same. Black and white pigs announce that you have new mail and a melancholy bunny tells you ifyourboxis empty. This version has opted for muted, charcoal-sketched icons with a barnyard theme. We liked ESP for syncing files between our work and home computers, and it's an efficient way to manage shared documents among small groups, whether you’re sharing pictures with family or MP3s with friends - that is, unless all your group members don't use Eudora 5.Įudora 5.0 does offer other minor improvements. Eudora automatically syncs all users folders with the most updated contents. Users can then add documents to this folder for others to share. Eudora creates a folder on each user's hard drive. ESP lets multiple Eudora 5 users share documents (MP3s, digital pictures, word documents, and other file formats you can attach to an email) without a server. The reason? Eudora 5.0 sports only one major new feature: Eudora Sharing Protocol (ESP). Still, whether you'll want to upgrade is another question. And now, you can easily import email from Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x. Upgrading from Eudora 4.2 was a seconds-long process, as you might guess. Installation was no sweat on our iMac DV. Cult Eudora users will upgrade regardless of what we say, but others may not find the new features compelling enough. So now that Qualcomm has released Eudora 5.0, the real question becomes whether we should upgrade to version 5.0 or switch from another email client. A solid and full-featured email program, it works flawlessly with nearly every email standard in cyberspace.
