QUALCOMM Releases Eudora® 6.0
— New Version Features SpamWatch, a Powerful, Automated Spam Protection Tool
SAN DIEGO — September 4, 2003 — QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:
QCOM), a leader in digital wireless communications and advanced electronic
messaging solutions for the Internet, today announced the commercial release of
Eudora 6.0 software, a powerful and feature-rich new version of the popular
e-mail program for Windows® and Macintosh® users. Eudora 6.0 e-mail software
features automatic spam protection, an e-mail thread condenser, automated type
formatting tools, and mailbox organizational shortcuts. Eudora 6.0 e-mail
software can be downloaded at www.eudora.com. «Eudora has a long-standing reputation for providing benefits to individual,
small office and enterprise e-mail users, and Eudora 6.0 raises the bar even
higher,» said William Ganon, vice president of QUALCOMM Eudora Products. «Spam
e-mail is the single biggest problem we hear about from users, followed closely
by the challenge of managing the increasing volume of e-mail. This latest
version includes many new features, but there are two in particular that address
these issues directly: SpamWatch and Content
Concentrator.»
SpamWatch
Eudora 6.0 e-mail software’s new SpamWatch
feature, available in Paid mode only, makes filtering out junk mail simple, easy
and automatic. SpamWatch is a whole suite of ready-to-use tools designed to
stamp out unwanted junk mail. Right out of the box, most junk mail will be
quarantined by SpamWatch.
Eudora 6.0 even helps users sort through the
junk e-mail box to find the «wanted mail,» if there is any. Eudora’s junk mail
box provides a numeric ranking system — «junk score.» A higher number indicates
e-mail with a greater number of criteria defining that mail as spam.
It is easy to train SpamWatch based on individual requirements. With unwanted mail
selected, a simple click on the «Junk» command in the message menu trains Eudora
that the selected e-mail is junk. SpamWatch then adds this information to the
spam criteria. Conversely, wanted e-mail that ends up in the junk box can be
deemed «Not Junk» through the same menu and these actions help Eudora learn what
the user thinks is and is not junk e-mail. Users can also add «Junk» and «Not
Junk» icons to the toolbar to make the process of teaching Eudora even
easier.
Anyone who gets too much spam will benefit from upgrading to
Eudora 6.0 with SpamWatch. Initiating SpamWatch is as simple as saying «yes» to
the invitation to use Eudora’s junk mailbox during installation of the Paid mode
version.
Eudora features an open API architecture in both Paid mode and
Sponsored mode, available to third party developers, so other anti-spam tools
and plug-ins can be integrated simply and smoothly.
Content
Concentrator™
It can be challenging to unravel a long e-mail thread, or to
find what the sender actually said in the midst of all the quoting, signatures,
forwards and other information included in long e-mail threads. The Content
Concentrator feature will help by providing a streamlined view of an e-mail,
making it easy to get to the heart of an e-mail conversation, with nearly the
whole thread visible at a glance. Users can choose from three levels of
concentration, depending on their needs.
