[Hidden-tech] Mac folks URGENT: what can I use instead of Eudora?

[Annamarie Pluhar]

Shel,

You might want to check out MailMate - which I've been using for a year. 
http://freron.com
I think it will do most of what you want. It might require thinking a 
bit differently.. smart mailboxes rather than actually moving mail for 
instance.

For archiving I use MailSteward Lite - provides all the search 
functionality you are looking for, I believe. For group distros - either 
use the group feature in Contacts, or create in TextExpander. I find the 
later really helpful not just for email!

HTH!

I get how annoying it is to learn to use a new software and redo your 
work flow. But does seem like you've squeezed everything out of Eudora 
you could !

Peace,


Annamarie Pluhar
