Download Eudora Email 8.0.0 beta 2

About a year ago, Qualcomm announced that it was donating its email client Eudora to the open source community. Mozilla took over control of the project and a few months ago, codenamed Penelope, resulted in the first beta release of Eudora 8. Common criticism at the time was that it was nothing more than its own Thunderbird client in a Eudora guise. Now the second beta release has appeared and looking at the short changelog, little seems to have changed:

Changes IN 8.0.0b2

• Includes Penelope version 0.1a22. see here for Penelope version notes. Using Thunderbird 3.0a1pre trunk code as of 2007/10/19: infoDownload.
• The main change to Eudora is that it is now based on the trunk code of Thunderbird: version 3.0a1pre. Some of the main new features of the trunk Thunderbird are the tabs interface for mailboxes and messages (right-click and select “Open in New Tab”), and the integration with the Mac OS X address book (see for details).
• Importing
  • Added the ability to manually start a full profile migration from the Tools->Import dialog.
  • Bug 399312 – Incomplete Import Installation – impossible to restart process
