The Mac OS X version of Odysseus 0.8.3 is now available for download. Please see this page for download instructions and links.
(Please do not post this build to sites such as MacUpdate or VersionTracker)
Odysseus is the Eudora® clone that Infinity Data Systems is developing. Eudora® has always been a best-of-breed email application for both platforms, Mac OS X and Windows. Easily one of the oldest email applications, it still offers features either not found in competing applications or, if found, not implemented as elegantly.
Unfortunately, late in 2006, Qualcomm® announced that it had ceased development of Eudora® and turned further development responsibility over to the Mozilla Foundation, with future versions of Eudora® being based on Thunderbird®. Like many Eudora® users, we don't believe that modifying Thunderbird® to mimic Eudora® offers Eudora® users the features, functionality, or experience they've come to love and depend on. Its our belief that only an application written from the ground up can adequately succeed a program as great as Eudora®.
What will be the advantages of Odysseus?
When compared with other existing email applications, Odysseus will share the same advantages as Eudora®. It's designed to have the same features, options, and capabilities that users have come to rely on... features that simply don't exist in other email applications or, if they do exist, are not implemented as elegantly. Compared to Eudora®, Odysseus has the advantage of being under active development by a software company dedicated to making Odysseus the best email client in existence. This includes improving on areas where Eudora® had started to lag behind... such as integration with the individual operating systems that it runs on.
