Eudora is no longer able to access my email properly from Texas.net. I would prefer to avoid having to use Outlook. I read that Eudora was an intellectual predecessor of Thunderbird and I would like to know if the developers OF T-Bird included any facility to make migration from Eudora to Thunderbird easier than, say, migrating from Eudora to Outlook. More specifically, is there an easy way to migrate hundreds and hundreds (nay, thousands and thousands) of emails from Eudora to Thunderbird? And while I have your ear, is there a supported (paid) version of Thunderbird, or is it freeware only? And is it still supported and developed, or has development ceased?

Thank you for discussing these issues. Oh, one more thing, and this may make above questions not necessary -- is there a manual for Thunderbird? I cannot find one,

To whomever answers, THANK YOU!

To start at the end.

Manual http://en.flossmanuals.net/Thunderbird/

Import from Eudora is at end of life and is in the process of being removed. It got to end of life when it started causing crashes in Thunderbird. Fixing the crash was just not viable given how few would benefit form it.

However if you use a older version of Thunderbird... say version 11. Then it has an import facility and does not crash. I assume an EN_US version for windows is what you will want. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/11.0/win32/en-US/

Note that some issues have always occurred in the import. Read this as background http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_from_Eudora_(Thunderbird)

No there is no paid version. But it is something the council is investigating along with other revenue raising to keep Thunderbird on a viable financial footing. For the short term we are going to try soliciting donations. The result of that will impact what next steps we will need to take.
