(SOLVED) Using evolution instead. Starting Eudora just opens thunderbird

[veronicathecow]

Hi, I want to run Eudora as a separate email client for work purposes.
I have tried installing but when I run it, it just dumps me into my open thunderbird client.
I then ran Eudora on it's own (Thunderbird closed) and it mucked around with my addons that are used in Thunderbird.
Is there anyway to make Eudora behave as a totally separate system (I know it is based on Thunderbird)
Many thanks
Tony

Only thing I can think of is to create a second user and use Eudora as if you were that user ....

Just17, we can't go on meeting like this!

Thanks for the idea but I am hoping for something that will not involve me logging in and out etc.
I also tried Kmail but it would not run and I could find no other email clients in the repo.

I had in mind running the app from your account, but running it as a second user ........  I haven't quite done this, but see no reason why not ......  the settings & data should then be saved on the second user account and not interfere with your settings and data .....

Hi Just17, thanks again for replies.
Earlier when I did a search in Synaptic I searched for "email" and get just 3 results.
I repeated with searching just for "mail" and get a few other results including Evolution which seems to working nicely.
Strange that the search term "email" fails to bring up all email clients.
All sorted, thanks again for your help.

Glad you found a solution that works for you
