email programs...

[Scott Foster]

Hi Folks:
I am running OX 10.2.8 and using, to my everlasting grief, Netscape 7.1. 
I am a power user in that I maintain 60 separate email address books - 
with the largest containing perhaps 200 email addresses. I wound up 
creating separate address books rather than lists because I once had a 
severe crash and wound up with the lists missing and one dbase full of 
an unusable hodgepodge of email recipients without identifying 
organizations, etc. I often send an email doc to several thousand 
destinations. With all this said, Netscape has frequently lost major 
data - the complete contents of some, but not all, my address books. 
While I am careful to back up, I find that I just yesterday backed up a 
major data loss! While I can painstakingly reconstruct most of these 
address books from previously sent email docs, if I am going to have to 
take this much time to reconstruct, I would prefer to reconstruct in a 
more reliable program. I would be curious to know what programs you are 
using if in similar circumstances? And how about Eudora now-a-days? I 
would have gone back to Eudora years ago - had they had an import 
capability from Netscape. Yes, I have tried the online conversion people 
and none can convert from Netscrap 7.2 to Eudora. Please let me know 
your thoughts. Regards - Scott Foster
