Quote Infinity Data Systems:

> Odysseus is the Eudora (R) style email client that Infinity Data
> Systems has been developing since late 2007. Eudora (R) has always
> been a best-of-breed email application for both platforms, Mac OS X
> and Windows. Easily one of the oldest email applications, it still

> found, not implemented as elegantly.

> Unfortunately, late in 2006, Qualcomm (R) announced that it had

> of Eudora (R) being based on Thunderbird (R). Like many Eudora (R)
> users, we don't believe that modifying Thunderbird (R) to mimic

> experience they've come to love and depend on. Its our belief that

And my question:

Anybody already collected some experiences w/ Odysseus?


Anyway it's funny that they chose this name ... they clearly chose it
to explicate the competition to the "Penelope" project
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope (for the discussion see
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Talk:Penelope, two folks aready mentioned
Odysseus there).




Cheers, Tom
