Below are answers to some of
the most commonly asked questions...
Is MailForge based on the Eudora® code base?
No. One of the reasons that Qualcomm® did not release Eudora® to the open source community, or sell it to another company, was due to there being a large portion of licensed code in the Eudora® code base. As the license holder for that code, Qualcomm® was not in a position to simply hand that code over to anyone else. That's why even the Thunderbird®/Eudora® 8 effort being headed up by the Mozilla Foundation is not based on the original code base, but is instead an attempt to modify a copy of the Thunderbird® code base to mimic Eudora®.
Is MailForge open source software?
No. Infinity Data Systems is a commercial software company. That doesn't mean that we don't offer some software for free. For example, the SimpleBooks line of software that we recently acquired is being made available for free. However, in the case of MailForge, it is commercial software.
Is MailForge cross-platform?
Yes. MailForge is being developed with support for Mac OS X and Windows. We are also working on Linux compatibility for a future release.
Will my favorite Eudora® feature be included in MailForge?
Most likely. If it's currently in Eudora®, chances are it will also be in MailForge. Our goal with 1.0 was to recreate the most commonly used features, with more and more of the extremely advanced (and sometimes obscure) features being added with each update.
How much will MailForge cost?
Single User License
$39.95 - This will be for the entire MailForge 1.x and 2.x product cycle. Starting January, 2010 for a limited time, MailForge is available for $19.95.
