But why is Eudora free? What do "they" get out of people using it? Does it have spyware or something? I ask because, as you know, you don't get somethin' for nothin'.

Eudora is free, because they would LIKE people to use their email server, or at least that USED to be the reason...

But why is Eudora free?

It's adware, basically they have ads popping up in a section of the screen. You register (purchase) and they go away. But they did it tastefully, and they are easy to ignore. If there were spyware, I'm pretty certain that my internet security would have picked up on it.
