As of a week ago, I do not think 6.2.4 runs perfectly well on 10.5 on a PPC. My mail server just started insisting we use SSL, and after struggling with every possible little detail endlessly I still can not send or receive any more. I have 20 years of e-mail in Eudora, and wished to keep running it on my G5 which I will also not give up for a number of reasons. It will work on my Intel machine at work, and for another friend who is a Eudora and pre 10.7 hold-out. So I have to conclude at this point that it is something wrong with the way Eudora works on a PPC as opposed to Intel that is causing this calamity. I can not find a solution or suitable replacement, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about and has any further clues I'd be grateful to hear about it.
