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

[Chris Hart, MyMacTech.com]

Here are some of the Mac email clients worth considering....
Some of them may not meet your entire wish list, but will do most of your
wants.  You'll need to do some reading to see if they give you what you
want....  In some cases, the app may require third-party plug-ins /
extensions to do some of the things you want.  (For example, Thunderbird has
a large library of extensions.)

* Obviously..... Apple Mail  (with the help of scripts it can do some of
your wants)
* MS Outlook 2011
* Mozilla Thunderbird
* PostBox http://www.postbox-inc.com/
* MailMate  http://freron.com/
* AirMail http://airmailapp.com/
* PowerMail http://www.ctmdev.com/powermail/

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

Always a rather cranky program,now Eudora is refusing to send almost all
email, and only bringing in a small portion. I suspect a port configuration
error, but can't even figure out how to adjust it. Both my ISP (Charter) and
my webhost (Hostgaor) insist they ahven't changed anything on their end.

I want to be able to:

* Open multiple messages at once that are not necessarily in the same
thread--without having to open a new browser tab (GMail can't do this)
* 
* Use an unlimited number of templates and signatures
* 
* Support multiple e-addresses
* Include attachments and subject lines as part of template emails (GMail
can't do this)
* Edit incoming messages, or at least change the subject line
* 
* Change the subject line when forwarding a message
* Sort into a large number of mailboxes and folders (folders have multiple
mailboxes)
* 
* Archive unlimited amounts of email and search it instantly, using either a
partial or complete string, and with my choice of any or all fields, date
criteria, etc.--even going back 10 or 15 years (GMail can't do this, either)
* 
* Create address lists of multiple recipients and treat them like single
addresses (type the first few letters of the nickname and get all the
addresses ready to send)
* 
* Sort incoming mail by any attribute (sender, date, subject line) and/or
group all those sharing the same information in any attribute (such as all
those with the same subject line) with one click
* 
* Store a pending message to send later

All of which Eudora does easily since at least the mid-1990s, at least when
it's working.

I'd also like to:
* Display HTML email in proper readable fashion
* 
* Click embedded links that are use anchor text instead of the actual URL
* 
* NOT crash arbitrarily when e.g. moving several pieces of mail to certain
mailboxes
None of which Eudora does well. Right now, I have to go find the message in
GMail to do the second or third.

I'm guessing it will need to be a program that brings the mail onto my hard
drive rather than shows it to me on the cloud. And hat's fine.

And I'm hoping it will not only run on both my OS 10.5 desktop and my OS
10.8 laptop (Eudora won't run on the laptop) but also smoothly import old
the old email, address book, and templates from Eudora.

--> Please DO NOT suggest gmail. I find gmail very limited in its
capabilities around search and around template documents, and slower than a
snail.
