Bye Eudora, You Were So Lovely

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

I'm saying my goodbyes early, as Eudora asks for my email password for the 6th time in the past hour, simply because it keeps misinterpreting a several-year-old POP3 error from Comcast (AT&T) and there is still no option to keep it from forgetting when this occurs. Eudora sits and does nothing else while requesting the password, not even other scheduled tasks and their resulting routings, scripts, etc. That's an app behaving badly, and a developer plainly ignoring comments from customers on Usenet (even after asking for more info, and receiving it from many others). Now that my subscription window has passed, I can't pay $40 to upgrade when all they seem to care about are useless features like a search bar. I've sworn by Eudora for years, since buying the burgundy and yellow box in the store for $35, and I'll keep using 6.0.2 despite the current annoyances, until a future OS X update breaks it, but I'll put my forty or fifty bones towards a new client next time. Darn it. I can't recommend anyone start using Eudora today. It just doesn't make sense.
