A general question for all--does anybody on this thread use eudora as their e-mail client? Is it cool stuff? I use Eudora, and wouldn't use anything else. I've tried a lot of other email clients on both PC and Mac--Netscape Mail, cc:Mail, Claris Emailer--and Eudora has them all beat. Not sure what they mean by hard to use. You start it up, you put in your user and mail server info, and you're set. It'll be interesting to see what Qualcomm does with all its different technologies. They seem to have a new Q phone/device in the pipe that acts like a PalmPilot and runs new versions of Eudora and Now Contact/Up-to-Date. If they could get that to market quickly, they'd have a big winner. rhet0ric

<<does anybody on this thread use eudora as their e-mail client? Is it cool stuff? Seem to remember a fairly recent review in PC World that was negative on latest version of Eudora cuz it was way too hard to use.>> Mike: I don't use it personally but I have a brother in Central America that raved to me about it a coupla' weeks ago (He's had it for a while and claims it beats everything hands down). I've also talked to several others who have Eudora; all good comments, no complaints. I'm tempted, especially based on my brothers comments. ...Tim

Two things: 1) You can only use Eudora (as far as I know) if you have an open pipe (ppp connection or equivelant) to the net. If you have a connection through some service like AOL or CompuServe or MSN then you use their mail program. However, once set up Eudora is totally cool. Setting it up is not easy but you can do it if you use your phone and talk to your service provider. 2) If you will all notice AOL (some call it AOHell or AOSmell, whatever) is using the new device in the Eudora email (talking email). I wonder if they have any tie in their system to Eudora or if they just bought that capability to add to their stuff. This is NOT the first time they have been on parallel upgrade paths by the way, they both had color at about the same time too. It's fun to speculate ain't it?
