Eudora 8.0.0b3 is a mail and news application based on the open source Thunderbird client from Mozilla.
Eudora, made by Qualcomm, changed dramatically from previous versions and now is moving to the open source trying to maintain maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird.
Among the new features of this version is the skin of some windows like the Options and the Message Filters windows. The Add-ons is another great feature, clicking the Add-ons option on the Tools menus will show the Add-ons window like in Mozilla or Firefox web browser. Some add-ons available are the DOM Inspector and Penelope both already included in Eudora.
Now you can set up email accounts from Google and add news groups to received information from them.
Eudora adds the Google option to go directly to the Google website, it doesn’t matter which browser you are using Eudora allows you to configure the browser that you want.
Eudora options window now gives the user more control over the way that the messages are shown and notified. The Privacy option changed and some additional options were included like the Junk mail, the E-mail scams and the Anti-Virus now allows the antivirus programs to quarantine individual incoming messages.

I've been using Eudora several hours a day since at least 1998. And I just installed the 8.0 beta on windows 11 and have been successfully migrating my mailboxes (all 700 of them, carefully nested - so I'm taking about 30 turns to do that, so as not to crash the system).

However Eudora 8 won't check my email - it gets stuck logging into the server. I contacted my email host about setting it up for IMAP since on Windows 10 I used pop, but they said I had everything set fine, including one port change they told me to make, which I did.

Some of the Eudora discussions suggest installing Hermes first, but others say that Hermes hasn't been upgraded in several years, and Eudora 8 is more uptodate - and in fact I couldn't install Hermes because I got the error message that I already have more recent version of its key files installed.

Anyway, I'm looking for help in being able to check my email (about 100+ a day) on Windows 11. In the meantime, I'm having to use my previous Eudora as an archive and find a new email program to start anew. More

I loved Eudora better than any emailer I ever used. Bring back Eudora. I miss you terribly. I still have emails in there and keep a record of so many things. More
