Sue, we are in the same boat. Eudora 7 and Earthlink. I am using Earthlink webmail from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. And I use Eudora with a Brazilian e-mail provider... Both work great form me. But let me say that I had to change this group to earthlink because for some reason the Brazilian Terra was skipping many messages.. I was in Baltimore recently and was in Earthlink web mail all the time... Terra also has a web mail: www.terra.com.br For me this is fine! Marcio
