If you have Mail leave messages on the POP server and copy yourself
on outgoing, you can test Mail while leaving the possibility (with
some effort) of returning to and updating your Eudora base.

This works very smoothly in practice. I did it when migrating from one
system disk to another - effectively it didn't matter which system disk
I was booted into, my mail was always up to date (even if it meant
downloading it twice, i.e. once for each system).

Just make sure that your POP server keeps read messages for a decent
amount of time (e.g. a week).
