After Eudora 7.1 was released, Qualcomm turned the project over to Mozilla Foundation. It was then updated to version 8, which was more of a formality than new features. Perhaps very minor bug fixes, but all invisible to the end user. After that, like I said, Eudora was absorbed into Thunderbird. The name Eudora no longer `exists, if you want something up-to-date, Thunderbird is the new client. Otherwise, you will be using an old software no longer maintained. My biggest issue with Eudora is that it doesn't have Exchange support. I cannot use Eudora at work even if I want to. It's just like using a browser. Those of you die-hard IE6 fans, you will eventually have to upgrade no matter what. Especially when CSS2.1 and HTML5.0 are the new standards. And IE6 is not going to be updated or supported anymore. Try using YouTube with IE6. And if you like Eudora so much, why upgrade to Windows 7? Why not just stay with Windows XP? I'm not saying Eudora is bad or anything. I'm just saying that sooner or later, changes have to be made. Old and retired software must be put to rest. We are being dragged kicking and screaming.
