What saddens me is the Qualcomm engineers who were assigned to the Eudora-Tbird project. Why can't they tell us what's happened? Why the silence? | What saddens me is the Qualcomm engineers who were assigned to the Eudora-Tbird project. Why can't they tell us what's happened? Why the silence? | ||
== Customizing toolbars in Eudora 8.0.0.b4 == | |||
Like others, I am anxiously awaiting the Penelope/Eudora first full release. I checked out the current version to see how development was going (without putting any data from my "classic" Eudora 7.) I found lots to like. Although I miss the Windows pulldown, because I like to tile my in and out boxes, I can see how the tab GUI (like Firefox) would be a great change, and I already love it (I can see what I have open, including, I assume, individual emails. I leave emails open for days, don't realize it because those windows may be buried. The tab would take care of that. I also have to get used to a drafts mailbox and a sent mailbox rather than an outbox. I can live with that. | |||
I found that I could not customize either the main toolbar or the toolbar that is specific to the "compose mail" screen by dragging and dropping. Not only are many functions only "sketched in" and not really there yet to place on the toolbars, but I literally couldn't add or delete anything on the toolbar. I wanted a button on the "compose mail" toolbar that would allow me to hit "send later" instead of "send" -- I assume this would put the email in my drafts box. I want to be able to QUEUE an email and to also determine when it gets sent, by time. | |||
Can you also add to the filters the function already in Eudora, that is, to allow an "any header" choice when setting up a filter (ie, if the listed phrase or word is in any part of the header, operate the filter). Also, being able to alphabetize filters, or arrange them in some other way, is a function that was sorely missing from Eudora, and maybe you can add it. | |||
As a Eudora user since version 2, I'm excited about what you're doing and look forward to the first official release. | |||
Then maybe you can tackle DAYTIMER 2000, which is no longer supported by Daytimer (hasn't been for years) and is still the best address book/appt calendar/to-do list, etc. etc. that I've seen. They'd probably give you their architecture for a song -- they don't care about it anymore. | |||
Thanks for doing what you're doing! | |||
