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.

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.

- tecleandor 8y agoThe 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...
- krylon 8y ago> some backups in a zip drive 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...
