Eudora OSE (Open Source Edition), formerly codenamed Penelope, is an extension for the Mozilla Thunderbird email client implementing some features of Eudora.
History
On October 11, 2006, Qualcomm and the Mozilla Foundation announced that future versions of Eudora would be based on the Mozilla Thunderbird platform and be open-source.[2]
The codename for this project is "Penelope," with the Eudora name kept for all-in-one releases. Development began with the first patch submitted to Bugzilla on November 22, 2006.[3]
The first beta version of Eudora 8.0 was released on August 31, 2007; the most current releases were Eudora 8.0b9 and Penelope 1.0b1, released on March 4, 2010.[4]
On July 2, 2010, the name was changed to Eudora OSE, and the version number was reset to 1.0.[5]
Eudora OSE does not retain the original mbox data structure used in older versions of Eudora, which caused some confusion and dissatisfaction among users.[6]
On June 28, 2013, Mozilla indicated that Eudora OSE is based on an out-of-date version of Thunderbird and that Qualcomm has no plans to update or support it, recommending users switch to Thunderbird.[7]
