Module 2 Assignment: Eudora Critique
- The level of connectivity at the University of Alberta's School of Library and Information Studies is Level 3 because it is direct 24 hr. access.
- Email to the instructor a message with an attached file providing a short critique
of the Eudora mail program. The critique file follows;
The Eudora software program is an efficient and simple
program to configure. The fact that it is possible to acquire this
product as a Freeware program makes it extremely economical for
any one who seeks access to e-mail capapbilities for their computer.
The drawback with Eudora is that it is only applicable to those who
only want e-mail. Netscape is an alternative to this by incorporating
e-mail, newshandling, and web browsing together. The demands are
greater in terms of memory and overhead but if you are looking for
more then e-mail Netscape is a better program. Eudora can send and
receive mail, compose e-mail, forward e-mail to other people, acquire
files from off the Net, and let one send and receive compressed files.
Other useful features of Eudora include management of your e-mail
by creating mailboxes to keep your mail in, folders to store mail boxes,
and sort any incoming mail in the various mailboxes established. In
addition to these features there are others which allow one to assign
nicknames to make a directory of long e-mail addresses and allows
one to attach files.
