>Good Afternoon,
>
>MIT Information Systems is pleased to announce the release of Eudora
>5.2.1 for Windows and 5.2.3 for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.
>
>Who Should Download and Why
>------------------------------
>This latest version of Eudora is the first version to incorporate
>Kerberos V authentication for both incoming and outgoing messages and
>makes significant improvements to IMAP functionality. If you wish to use
>IMAP or Kerberos V authentication in Eudora, then we strongly advise you
>to upgrade to this latest version.
>
>Other advantages of upgrading to this new version include:
>-at some point in the future MIT Information Systems plans to require
>authentication for outgoing messages, a capability that older versions
>of Eudora do not possess, so those who download and install this new
>version will be prepared in advance for the switch-over.
>-using Kerberos V authentication for outgoing messages allows some users
>to bypass their ISPs filter on the standard SMTP (outgoing message) port
>(i.e. port 25).
>
>
>Notable Features and Bug Fixes
>------------------------------
>- Kerberos V Authentication for incoming and outgoing email (all
>platforms)
>- Enhanced filtering (match addresses against the address book) (all
>platforms)
>- Drag attachments out of messages and drop into other locations on your
>desktop (Windows)
>- IS support for IMAP
>
>Notable Facts
>-------------
>Eudora version 5.2.3 for Macintosh OS 9 and OS X is not a public
>release, and therefore you will not be able to download it from
>Qualcomm's site. It will only be available via the MIT Software page. If
>for some reason you download and install Qualcomm's publicly available
>Macintosh version (Eudora 5.2.1 for Mac OS 9 and X), then your IMAP
>email will not work, and you will have to re-install either an earlier
>supported version of Eudora (5.2 for OS X and 5.0.1 for OS 9.x) or the
>currently recommended and supported version (5.2.3 for both platforms)
>to correct the problem.
>
>Where to get Eudora 5.2.x
>-------------------------
>The installer is available from http://web.mit.edu/software/ as Eudora
>5.2.1 and 5.2.3.
>
>Please review the documentation at http://web.mit.edu/is/help/eudora/
>before installing Eudora 5.2.x.
>
>For additional information about email at MIT, please review the
>documentation located at http://web.mit.edu/is/help/email/.
>
>If you have a question or need assistance, please contact the Computing
>Help Desk at computing-help@mit.edu or 617-253-1101.
