I know this thread is quite old, That I just came across that and I

I exported my old address book as a .CSV file, and imported it into
oeclassic as a new address book very nicely.

-Q


OEClassic has a variable reputation.


Variable? Care to elaborate? :-) Fortunately I haven't had a need to
use it yet since I'm still on XP. :-) I'm guessing it's weaker in the
messsage filters or rules area for newsgroups, if my memory serves me, but
it would be interesting to know more.


I haven't used it myself, but from a couple of people I know who have, I
get the impression that the free/trial version is somewhat limited, and
didn't give them the impression that it was worth spending for the paid
version. I'm afraid I can't remember what it didn't do - or did/dies
badly - compared to the real old OE. Unlike some other products (e. g.
Media Player Classic, Classic Shell) with "Classic" in the name, which
all who've tried them (that I've read) seem very pleased with.

(There's also something that's supposed to look like Eudora [an email
client] but is really a version of Thunderbird, that wasn't maintained
and didn't live up to its original promise. Can't remember if that had
Classic in the name though - I think not. Proper Eudora runs fine under
7 anyway, as we found!)
