Eudora is coming back!

The nerd who got his first internet access during the 90′ who has never used Eudora, get out of here and don’t continue reading.

Eudora is coming back! Qualcomm released it’s source code, and now it’s being worked on by the Mozilla foundation, and a new version will come with a Thunderbird feeling.

That is awesome news! IMHO, there is still a lot of usability that could be learned from Eudora. It was stable, easy to use, scalable, and had a nice feeling for every day work. I’ll be sure giving it a try on the first betas.

Read a brieafing and some user comments on LWN, and the full announcement on PR Newswire.

Update: Forgot to say that the name of the new beast will be Penelope. No, I don’t like the name, sounds too childish, but… It’s also pre-released as Thunderbird extension. And this is old news from last year…
