Any sugestions?
IIRC Eudora runs under wine.
I just had a look at the Eudora site, it's been discontinued, and picked up by Mozilla as Penelope. The company may not be able to use this on their new systems.
And why would they want run a windows application under wine when they WANT to migrate to Linux???
As stated above, what do you need of Eudora's functionality? The mail client for reading? The addressbook for sending of mails?
i have no detailed idea, i'm not the programmer, just the installer
but from what i understand, there are database links to move the various unit (palate) records between the sending > receiving offices using the mail system. Aparently Eudora's scripting is easy to use and very database compatable, acording to the programmer.
It's not simple, but it does work for them and saves having to have direct or permanent links.
Scripting languages like Python, Perl, Ruby etc have libraries for both sending and receiving email, and parsing RFC2822 + MIME data. Those languages are mature on all relevant platforms, and all have good development tools. Why would you you a proprietary system when you can use a open (and free) system? Theo -- Theo v.
