I've just been looking at MailForge. It's looking promising. Not quite
there yet, but certainly better than anything else I've seen.

Funny, I just downloaded and tried it, and although I was a long time
eudora user, I got fed up and went to mail quite some time ago.
Now I try it it seems very unfriendly, doesn't work the way I remember
eudora working and seems fussy and hard work.

Is this becasue it is different from eudora or I have just forgotten
eudora and got used to mail?
The prefs seem similar, (although harder to set up than mail), but I got
to the state that after checking my mail (which took a while and gave no
feedback that it was doing anything), I clicked on a message (which
showed nothing, until I clicked it again) then i couldn't find the mail
list again.
I don't remember eudora being that much hard work.

The true virtue of Eudora is that, in its basic form, it's spanner-like
and totally obvious. There are few tricks to learn; at one time when a
friend of mine was struggling to get her Mac Mini up and running and
still needed a working Mail program, I put Eudora onto her previous 5200
(I think it was) and it worked a treat. She found it very, very easy to
use.

Getting Eudora to really sing is another matter- using those x-eudora
config files is a bit of an obstacle course, even if they do give you an
extraordinarily fine grained control over the thing. But GUI it ain't;
you really have to read the file. And I understand that IMAP on Eudora
is a sometime thing, but I've not needed to try that.
