Eudora Pro 3.0 software offers >numerous new features, including enhanced message filtering, a new plug-in >architecture and support for multiple email accounts, making it one of the >most powerful email management and productivity tools available. Eudora >Pro 3.0 for Windows supports the Microsoft® Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and >Windows NT operating systems. > >As part of QUALCOMM's initiative to deliver the most powerful, productive >and easy-to-use messaging environment, Eudora Pro 3.0 software features a >new plug-in architecture called Extended Messaging Services Application >Programming Interface (API). With it, users will have access to plug-in >applications that significantly enhance the functionality of Eudora Pro >software, including human language translation, compression, image format >conversion, content analysis, and data security services. >"Eudora Pro 3.0 software is the premier messaging solution for Internet and >intranet communications," said Craig Brenner, Director of Worldwide >Marketing, Eudora Division of QUALCOMM. "The new features and plug-in >architecture, combined with our ongoing commitment to standards-based >messaging, give Eudora Pro 3.0 software the highest functionality, >interoperability and usability possible. With this latest version, Eudora >Pro software eclipses simple text-based email and takes electronic >messaging to the next generation." > >Key features of Eudora Pro 3.0 include: > More Powerful Filters: Greater power and flexibility to organize and >manage email automatically. Actions include automatic reply, forward and >notify applications. > Multiple Email Accounts: Users can now access different Internet mail >server accounts from within a single copy of Eudora Pro 3.0. > Capability-Enhancing Plug-ins: The new Extended Messaging Services API >allows other applications that support the API to work directly with Eudora >Pro software. Plug-in applications could include human language >translation, data compression, image format conversion, content analysis, >and data security services. > Improved Text Formatting: Users can incorporate various fonts, font >sizes, styles, colors, and layout options to give messages the look of >word-processed documents (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT only). > Drag & Drop Capabilities: Simplifies making file attachments and >manipulating mailboxes, messages, and large amounts of text. > New Configurable Toolbar: It is now even easier to access key commands >and customize the toolbar to suit each individual user. Users can create >new buttons for many Eudora commands (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT >only). > Floating Dockable Mailbox Window: Provides users with a window for >simple mailbox and folder management (works with Windows 95 or Windows NT >only). > Enhanced Address Book: Users can create multiple address books that >include email addresses, group lists, physical addresses, telephone and fax >numbers. > New Support for Stationery: Users can now create templates for outgoing >messages and use them in automatic responses. > Improved Mail Server Control: Allows control of mail transfers and >storage on the email server. Users can limit the size of messages they want >automatically downloaded or limit how long they want deleted messages to >stay on the server. > Multiple Signatures: Users can create and use many different signatures >to personalize messages. > >Eudora Pro 3.0 software helps users be more productive by managing their >electronic communications. This is accomplished through sophisticated >sorting and labeling, hierarchical mailboxes, and its powerful message >filtering capability. Message filtering is the feature email users say is >most important, according to a recent survey of over 2,000 computer >magazine readers. Moreover, the new configurable toolbar makes it even >easier to access key commands and customize the toolbar to suit individual >users. Users can also set buttons to correspond to function keys and create >new buttons for most Eudora commands. > >The software also supports Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) >standard stylized text so users can incorporate various fonts, font sizes, >colors, and layout options to give messages the look of word-processed >documents. In addition, just as web browsers can be configured so that >hot-links for email can automatically open a Eudora Pro message, Eudora Pro >3.0 software recognizes active Internet hot-links (Uniform Resource >Locators or URLs) for the World Wide Web, FTP and email. Now with Eudora >Pro and your favorite browser, you can double-click an email link in your >browser to switch to Eudora Pro and double-click a web link in an email >message to have Eudora Pro software signal your browser to jump to that web >page. > >With over 10 million users worldwide, QUALCOMM's Eudora software products >are the industry's most popular Internet email solution. A study by >International Data Corporation concluded that QUALCOMM with its Eudora Pro >software is the dominant leader in the worldwide Internet email software >market, with 63.5 percent of installed mailboxes and 70.9 percent share of >all new Internet mailboxes, as of December 1995. A survey of Internet >users conducted by Matrix Information Directory Services (MIDS) of Austin, >Texas, a leading authority on the Internet and its growth, concluded that >over 60 percent of educational institutions and over 50 percent of >organizations on the Internet use Eudora software for communication. > >Price and Availability >Eudora Pro 3.0 software for Windows is now available through over two dozen >worldwide distributors, including Ingram Micro, where Eudora Pro software >has been on the best seller list for nearly a year.
