Similarly, reception to Eudora OSE continued to be lukewarm months after the release. Many Eudora users disliked the direction Penelope took. No software is currently developed/supported that can access old Eudora mail archives directly, without import/conversion. It uses the same modern mbox file used by Apple Mail and others. The version number was also reset to 1.0, which has the added benefit that it is synchronized with the Penelope version number.Įudora OSE does not retain the original mbox data structure, which stores all attachments as individual files together in one folder. Since Eudora OSE uses an entirely different code base from Classic Eudora, in an effort to reduce the confusion the application was renamed to Eudora OSE (Open Source Edition). This caused some confusion in that some users expected the new version to be a regular update to Classic Eudora.
