Although for some reason Eudora has been crashing in a large way over the past 24 hours or so. So much so that I downloaded Thunderbird & am considering making the switch.

Would it have possibly been a Windows update that caused the instability? If so, perhaps Eudora has a patch out for it.

i believe that you will find Thunderbird rather feature rich. A couple of dedicated Eudora users have made the switch and never looked back. There are (for example) features that permit the use of traditional webmail outlets, such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, and others from inside the Thunderbird email client. You can send and receive mail from the client rather than use the webmail client. Both POP and SMTP are supported. You could also configure IMAP if you so desired.

Yeah, very possible. Likely, even.

Yup -- I do something like that now using a combination of Eudora, and programs called YPOPs and Mailwasher. It'd be nice to have one program do it all, tho.

May check it out again.

But need to get Norton reinstalled and Anticrash fixed first. LOL.
