What would a new Eudora look like?

Show all headers | View raw

Many of Eudora's features that make it attractive to me do not align with current practices. For example, modern apps tend to use a single window for everything, and split it into panes. This is a problem if you want to look at things side-by-side.

I love the fact that Eudora uses windows and that I can have multiple windows open at the same time. I love that when messages are filtered into a mailbox, the mailbox window opens automatically so I can see that there are new messages there. I can leave it open as a reminder until I have time to read the messages, eg, a mailing list. If there are some I don't want to read, I can just close the window.

I *do not* like Apple Mail and Thunderbird's technique of having a huge list of mailboxes down the side with numbers of unread messages. Firstly, I have to scroll down through the mailbox list to see what is there.  Secondly, I have to mark every single message as read to allow it to show when new messages have been moved into the folder.

So a big question about a future Eudora is whether it will look like a 1980s app, or a modern, barely-functional one? :-)
