Eudora Keybindings

⚡ Warning: The content of this page is obsolete and kept for archiving purposes of past processes.

Because of its long heritage and [potentially] decades of conditioning, classic Eudora users may find the shift to all new keyboard shortcuts to be a jarring and inconvenient transition. With this in mind, Eudora OSE gives you the choice of using the classic Eudora keyboard shortcut profile, or if you prefer, you can use the standard Thunderbird shortcuts.

This page does not attempt or claim to be comprehensive. Instead, it lists some of the most common and useful shortcuts.

Check Mail:

• Penelope: Control/Command - M (Note, on Mac OS X Command-M is currently used by the System to minimize the window)
• Thunderbird: Control/Command-Shift - T

New Message:

• Penelope: Control/Command - N
• Thunderbird: Control/Command-Shift - T

Send/Queue Message:

• Penelope: Control/Command - E
• Thunderbird: (none)

• Thunderbird: Control/Command - 2
