Final version 1.0 is out, available via ppm or my site:
http://www.lamiaworks.com.au/puppy_eudora.html

bugs to the end please with the pet name in the subject line please.

---------------------------------------------
RC2 bugs at the end please, information topic link is the same as before.

This is the page to add any problems you have to the rc1.

the information topic is on the following link:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=49547

Reminder of the necessity to reboot after installation.
Also, when you first click on the icon it sets up your /root/.thunderbird structure, this can take up to a minute.

One serious problem is it's use of the hidden file .thunderbird for it's profile information. Can this be changed to .eudora or .Penelope? Really messes up the use of Thunderbird which was the previous best e-mail choice for Linux and has too much info to be discarded. Should this be reported to the eudora team as a bug?

Thanks,
Jim

jim, I will pass on if they haven't already discussed it or it's dealt with in rc2 which i'm working through at present.
It was primarily so the two applications can share data.

edit: reply from eudora group is that it's not practical to have it different by default as it would mean a lot of code rewriting, their sugestion is to look at the thunderbird wiki as it may give you a idea of how you change the save location. sorry.
