Download Eudora Email 6.2.0.7 beta

Qualcomm has released a new beta version of its email client Eudora. The beta carries version number 6.2.0.7 and has seen many changes, including improved SSL compatibility, better IMAP functionality, and the addition of Emoticons and ScamWatch. Eudora can be used in three ways. First, you can work for free with limited options. Then there’s the option to still get it for nothing, but with more functionality underway. In that case, advertisements will be displayed. Finally, for $50 you can use the full potential and that too without advertising. Below are all the changes compared to version 6.1.2:

NEW FEATURES

• ScamWatch – Eudora now warns with a tooltip warning when the pointer is moved over a suspicious link and warns with a dialog when a suspicious link is clicked.
• Emoticons – Eudora now supports sending and receiving mail with emoticons.

SSL

• Eudora now uses OpenSSL instead of Certicom’s SSL Plus library for SSL negotiations.
• When a server’s SSL certificate is rejected for certain reasons (not trusted, expired, etc.) Eudora will now present a dialog asking the user if they want to trust the cert instead of forcing them to navigate a complicated UI to manually trust the certificate.

IMAP

• Filtering of IMAP messages should now be as fully functional as filtering of POP messages.
• Manually declaring an IMAP message to be either “Junk” or “Not Junk” now informs the junk plugins of the change in the message’s status.
• Improved user’s ability to stop IMAP operations.
• IMAP users running on servers without UIDPLUS now have the option of allowing Eudora to score incoming messages even though it will not move messages to the Junk mailbox.

SECURITY

• Fixed cases where attachments could be spoofed via base64 or quoted-printable encoded (plain-text, inline) MIME parts.
• User is now warned when forwarding an attachment not found in Eudora’s attachment directory. See setting in Tools->Options->Extra Warnings “Forward files that are not in the attachment directory”. Also controlled by , where 0 means don’t warn, 1 means warn (default), and 2 means don’t attach.

FILTERS

• Eudora no longer incorrectly warns when View Source is chosen and the source is text.
• Fixed crash that could occur when selecting “View Source” after recently changing the “Use Microsoft’s viewer” setting.

• “Not Junk” command now correctly adds to the white list when invoked in the “Find Messages” window.
• If all downloaded messages are declared junk or are filtered to trash Eudora will no longer play the new mail sound.

• Eudora is now better about remembering the preview pane splitter position used the last time Eudora was run.
• Type-to-select now searches the subject when the messages are sorted by subject.
• Type-to-select now prefers messages at the end of the mailbox (unless is 1, in which case it prefers messages at the start of the mailbox).
