[X4U] E-Mail programs (Was: Users' judgments of the glossy screen?)

[John Dach]

Yes I would be very interested in other e mail programs.  My problem  
with Eudora is I lost all of the e mail addresses (had the nicknames  
but NOTHING else) in the address book 5 times.  I reloaded Eudora and  
still no go, lost the addresses again.  I have a LOT of addresses and  
it took hours every time they departed to rebuild the address book.   
Maybe you have an idea as to what was going on with eudora for this  
to happen......................  Anyway, out of desperation I  
switched to iMail and have been figuring out how to do on it what was  
so natural for me in Eudora.  I still haven't figured out how to do  
some operations (Bcc directly from the address book without first  
CCing the select all and drag to the Bcc box).  It was so easy in  
Eudora and sort of convoluted in iMail (to me!!).  Any thoughts or  
ideas would be gratefully accepted.
