In 1999-2001 when I was doing dialup tech support, running into a customer with Eudora was a dream compared to the nightmare of basically any other contemporary mail client around: Outlook and Outlook Express. EarthLink even made their own abomination of a mail client called Total Access, IIRC it could import and export Eudora dbs.

Or, if you lived in Eastern Europe, The Bat1[1] - and it is still actively supported!

I switched to Opera Mail because it was convenient to have the browser and email client in one software (which is also freeware), but that went with the Chropera move.

The Bat was quite nice! I used it for a while but finally switched to the Japanese client "Becky Mail", ugly but quite functional. I still have some backups in a zip drive I should restore...

Hehe, I have one of those, too. But unfortunately it is an external drive, and none of the computers I own have a parallel port...

Funny, because from around 2004 onward I'd say the opposite. Eudora was universally reviled at the help desk I worked at.
