So I continued to use Eudora in small ways - sending bulk messages such as notifications of DealBITS drawing winners (I can’t imagine Gmail allowing a message with 900 recipients), spell-checking the weekly TidBITS issue in a Eudora window (since it sometimes catches mistakes that the Mac OS X spell checker misses), and retrieving the occasional old message from years in the past.Įnter Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, and exit Eudora, thanks to the loss of Rosetta, Apple’s clever software for enabling PowerPC software to run on Intel-based Macs (see “ Preparing for Lion: Find Your PowerPC Applications,” ). Much as I like Gmail, there are certain things it can’t do that Eudora could, and there are the hundreds of thousands of messages I had stored in my local Eudora Folder. But after 18 years of using Eudora, I couldn’t just quit cold turkey. Throughout that time, I’ve been using Gmail - through the excellent Mailplane - for my everyday email (see “ Zen and the Art of Gmail, Part 1: Why I Switched,” 16 March 2011).

#MAILFORGE VS EUDORA FOR MAC OS X#
Built from the ground up for Mac OS X and Windows, MailForge is designed to be a power user's email client, providing users with a host of features not commonly found in other email programs, such as the ability to edit every facet of received emails, scheduled sending of email, tabbed or multi-window interface, HTML vs text options, menu navigation of mailboxes, etc. Easily one of the oldest email applications, it still offers features either not found in competing applications or, if found, not implemented as elegantly.
