Penelope aka Eudora

I remember the first email program I ever had.  It was Eudora running on an old LC II.  That was about fifteen years ago and I have used Eudora ever since.

Eudora has helped me avoid every Outlook related problem along the way.  There are no security problems known for the program, but last year Qualcomm announced they would no longer continue to develop it.  Shortly after that announcement, they turned the code over to the Mozilla folks to develop as open source.

Today the first release of Penelope was announced.  From what I understand, it’s Thunderbird with the old Eudora interface.  After tonight’s backup I plan to give it a try.  It’s good to see a tried and true program get a second life.
