Can't say because our EFBs have not articulated any serious reasons
for sticking with Eudora.
The biggest reason for my sticking with it is that it does what I
want an email program to do. Why should I switch? I'm certainly not
interested in pink backgrounds with yellow writing (stationeries) and
animated smilies!
I'd like to know what others think an email program _should do_ that
Eudora doesn't.
Long ago I switched from IE to (first) Mozilla and then
Firefox. Initially it was because of all the pop-ups that couldn't
be controlled within IE, and I saw no reason to install a pop-up
blocker in IE when one was built in to Firefox.
I switched from Norton AV to AVG because I ended up with all kinds of
problems with Norton. I'll never put it on another machine I am
associated with. AVG has never given me any problems and the price
is good. :) I also run Avast on another machine, mainly because I
wanted to compare AVG and Avast, and am happy with that also. I see
no reason to switch either of those.
I do have Thunderbird installed on a machine, mainly so that I can
guide others with its use. It appears to be a fine program too,
although it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of real
Eudora. I haven't really searched, but does T'Bird have the colored
labels? I use that feature in Eudora quite often. I also like the
'trainable' junk feature--much simpler than setting up filters, and
it works very well.
If Eudora quits working, I guess I'll have no choice but to
switch. Until then, I see no good reason to do it.
