Eudora 4.3 Features In Detail

If you're only familiar with Eudora Light, you will find Eudora 4.3 an incredibly feature-rich application with shortcuts like a Group Subjects option that groups related messages even when the mailbox is sorted by date or sender, and an incredibly powerful and easy to use filter tool. Eudora Pro's Make Filter feature can analyze a selected message and automates creation of common filter types.

Other Eudora 4.3 features include:

• Background mail checking and sending (Multi-threading), allowing users to perform multiple tasks at once, improving productivity. Email messages can be downloaded and sent in the background, while you simultaneously perform other functions such as composing a new message, looking up addresses in the address book or creating a new filter.

• Direct import of settings, email and address books. Eudora Pro Email 4.1 can automatically import existing settings, email and address books from Microsoft Outlook, MS Outlook Express or Netscape Messenger Mail programs.

• Enhanced windows management allow you to group certain windows that you use the most into special container windows. You can then dock them where they are always available for quick and easy access.

• A message preview pane lets you view the contents of a message without opening it.

• Graphics within messages display within the body of the message, so that you don't have to launch a separate application to view them.

• Drag-and-Drop lets you easily attach files and manipulate mailboxes, folders, and messages.

• A built-in, on the fly, spellchecker underlines misspelled words.

• You can exchange voice messages with QUALCOMM's PureVoice plug-in for Eudora.

• You can customize your interface with the new "Cool-bar" toolbar which can be docked anywhere.

• Multiple email accounts allow you to perform all your correspondence from a single interface (with no Res-Edit hacks necessary!)

• Multiple signatures personalize your messages automatically.

• Eudora Pro's powerful filters automatically identify and file your mail, transfer messages to the appropriate mailboxes, forward them, or even reply with automated responses. The Make Filter command lets you create filters with the click of a button.

• Multiple stationery lets you reply to your most frequent requests with any number of automated responses.

• Customizable, multiple address book.

• HTML message support lets you view and compose Web-like graphics and stylized text. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) synchronizes your desktop mailboxes and folders with those on the server. Other supported protocols include Post Office Protocol (POP3) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) find virtually any address on the Internet by accessing multiple LDAP directories. Other address protocols support still includes Ph and Finger.
