Older versions of Eudora

[Bubba]

Where can I download older versions of Eudora? I liked those versions
before they began to take on the newer Thunderbird interface/look. I
particularly liked the version from late 2004.

Thanks,
Bubba

The last version of Eudora, 7.1.0.9, is from 2006. The interface is
not different from the 2004 version. Perhaps you are talking about the
aborted attempt to create a more modern version based on a very old
Thunderbird.

Can you refresh my memory? What was wrong with the "aborted attempt" to recreate Eudora through T-bird? I even gave T-bird a try by using it for newsgroup viewing. Eventually it failed and I couldn't fix it so I switched to Seamonkey which is based on the same code base, but it too failed eventually, so I'm using Google groups now.

Glad I stuck with Eudora for email.

For newsgroups, I'd recommend Forte Agent (though it needs a patch for
timed filter expiration to work -- the last official build couldn't handle
expiration dates past something about two years back).

The "aborted attempt" was basically just a skin on top of Thunderbird
-- and many did not like how the underlying Thunderbird operated.

http://www.drivehq.com/web/brana/pandora.htm is a pretty close
work-alike for Eudora, though it does still have some glitches. The paid
version is required to import multiple personalities, signatures, etc. from
Eudora. I've been using it for almost two years now.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hermesmail/ is an effort to modernize
the (finally) released code base of Eudora itself, replacing the $$$
libraries. It's still considered an "alpha" build state. NOTE: that site
also has updated certificate and SSL library for Eudora, which helps
mitigate the hassle of following certificate chains and approving each new
certificate.

All the versions of Eudora at that site cannot be downloaded because
each link is dead. However, I did find a better site after seaching
for the file name:
