Mojo Mail 2.x to Dada Mail 2.x Guide

Upgrading Dada Mail from Mojo Mail 2.8.9 and below

The Really Really Good News

2.8.10 of Dada Mail is backwards compatible with all versions below, most of the name changes are superficial (ie, the name was changed, nothing else). This document is to get you familiar with this tweaked interface, both inside and out. It's not too too scary, but is hopefully exhausting.

Differences In Terms

etc, etc.

List Settings

There's only one list setting that has been renamed:

Template tags

And the rest

If I totally missed something, you can make a best guess that any other reference:
