Okay, so after using Eudora as my e-mail client for about three months now, I've decided I really don't like it. Outlook is a lot more user-friendly to me (unless someone's got a better suggestion for me?). So.. what I need to ask is.. how do I import my Eudora messages to Outlook? I know how to do it, but where are Eudora messages stored by default?

Have you tried Thunderbird? The import wizzard can bring all your settings and miscelany from Outlook and Eudora and it's very user friendly. Especially in that it doesn't nuke your computer with viriuses.

Uhm.. not exactly inclined to actually use anything from Mozilla, really. Any other suggestions? Maybe an answer?

Why not the opera client?
And what's wrong with Eudora? Looks just as easy to use as Outlook.
Other than that, ask someone for a gmail account.

Anything but Outlook and Outlook Express.

Completely forgot about it? So how do I import old Eudora messages?

Mail->Manage Accounts->New and there should be an option for import

What do you have against mozilla products, just wondering?

To me, they're not very user-friendly. To me.

Probably the sluggish interface. I hate mozilla products too- I just like the rendering engine for browsers(Gecko) (I use Galeon, a gecko-based browser, since Firefox is a bit slow and there is the goddamned profile locking).

Well, the main reason I don't use Mozilla is the inability for me to be able to open new tabs from links... Opera, it's easy to do. Plus, I don't like the scrolling interface for Mozilla. It goes... weird. Somewhere between smooth scrolling and not. Don't like it at all.

Huh? It's middle click or control click, and you can make it not automatically focus to the next tab with an extension (or not, haven't used Mozilla in awhile). And I dunno, Opera seems pretty complex to me (probably me being dumbed down by using GNOME apps too much, when I should be using more command line programs ).

Oh, ok. I prefer right-click > Open in new page/Open in background page. -shrugs-

If you don't like Thunderbird (huh?) and if you wanna get away from Eudora (eew, imo), then you could try Pegasus Mail. Personally though it's not as good as Thunderbird.

It's not that I don't like Thunderbird, it's that I'm not inclined to try it because I don't like Mozilla.

There's right-click, open in new window too.

I know, but that's another window, not another tab.

Oops, I meant tab

Outlook's not too bad so long as you kill the preview pane, and AutoPreview is really nice. It certainly loads up a helluva lot faster than Mozilla.

That's a pretty serious deficiency.

Then again, my outlook clone (Evolution 1.5) has died and I can't revive it (Especially not going to download source over dialup), so I'm waiting for a Gmail invite. If it's bad enough, I'll just switch to mutt (should have been using that in the first place, but meh).

*shrug* There are pretty serious deficiencies in Windows, but I still find it a more useable OS than others, and that's generally the important thing.

As long as verilon is responsible enough to remain aware of the deficiencies and make sure his machine has a low chance of being compromised by them, he should be fine.

Well, Opera's mail client is ok.. Don't like the whole text e-mail thing, though. -shrugs- Oh, well, I can deal. It's not like the e-mail addresses I'm going to be using for it *require* HTML e-mails.
