Giles, You are probably right. What I was trying to get at with my email itch post yesterday was the constant need to focus and the time costs involved with making a change to an application as important as an email client. I am sticking with Eudora 6 betas for now, because they work well and the only things they lack are integration with the Address Book app and an appealing user interface. I still think that Eudora is the email app of choice for someone who needs email to be bombproof and simply work. It does that. It just isn't pretty...

Resist the temptation, Rob! Like you, I've been using the Eudora 6.x betas and found they do the job very nicely. Yeah, the UI is outdated but then so am I, so I get along with it very well. Like you, I sometimes wonder if I could do better with another client. But the pain of moving from one to another is too much to contemplate. Eudora ain't broke, so I ain't fixing it until it is.

Lin here:
I am no longer a super e-mail user, but I have been "on the net" for a long time, and therefor have a huge collection of valuable e-mail all in various formats. I have retired from active searching for the perfect e-mail program. I use what works, and backup daily. Things change and I have accepted that fact. My current system is low cost, flexible enough, and secure in the sense I have not lost an e-mail in 13 years. The main idea is that an ideal net correspondence system must solve two or three problems, and no one program can do it all. Also it must be flexible enough to allow for future innovations.

What I currently use is Apple Mail, as a front end. It does what I need it to do. Read and write quick responses. It allows me to use "Aspell", "GPG", "PGP", and some IMAP functions. In conjunction with "CopyPaste", I can whip through the daily deluge fast and simply. Add to this mix "ZOE" as an archive, and search tool, and a reliable back-up strategy, and I can easily find that one e-mail I wrote 6 years ago, or who did I "bcc" in 1991 about "love". "Zoe" is slow and cumbersome to set up. But the user interface is clean and can not be beat for indexing, and finding that cross reference. No this is not a perfect solution, there is no perfect solution. But it works well, it's cheap, and it allows for the next hot new thing. (perhaps integration of RSS, or XML, or video chat into an e-mail system.)

I've been using the preview of Panther for a little while now, and I would recommend holding out for its new version of Mail. The program is fast, stable, and sexy; I would never use anything else. Though the spam filtering doesn't seem to be working just yet, "Threaded View" is very nice for mailing lists---any list that uses the same subject line every time will be treated as a thread. Just stick with what you've got for a couple more months. I promise the wait will be worth it.

I used Emailer for the past many years - even in classic, until I began using Verizon's DSL service and needed outgoing authentication. Looked closely at Apple Mail and Powermail, but realized that I already had Entourage sitting on my hard drive. I have been very happy with it over the past 9 months. The interface is really clean, although the program is a little sluggish with OS X on a 400 Pismo, but not too slow. Still, for some strange reason, I keep my eye on Powermail....

Eudora's spam filtering keeps it on top of my heap. Could be the habit of having used it since forever, but somehow it's vintage interface works for me. Tho 6 is still beta its been rock solid on all the platforms I own.

If IMAP is not a concern for you at this point check out Gyazmail http://gyazsquare.com/ It is made by a small developer and seems to be getting new features regularly. Its interface is nice, it's fast and cheap, $18. IMAP is on the upcoming features list. I have been using it since before the 1.0 release and think it's great. But I think e-mail clients are one of the more personal types of software. Each person likes their pick for their own reasons.

Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I really don't use IMAP that much. That fact makes choosing an email app much easier. I am not so sure that I agree with Eudora being a worst sort of compromise. Especially in its latest beta version it is a solid email client, at least as good as it was under Mac OS 9.x, and even better when you consider the new features built into the program. If it fully integrated with the Apple Address Book application as PowerMail does then it would only be lacking in terms of the user interface

This is a tricky one...

...IF you need IMAP. If you don't need IMAP, get Mailsmith. End of story.

If you do need IMAP (as I do), I wouldn't spend a penny on any of the current crop. Entourage is slow and comes from MS. Powermail is fast but has hardly any IMAP features. Mulberry does everything right but is a UI nightmare. Eudora is the worst soft of compromise. Overall, the best two IMAP clients on OSX are IMO, Mail and Mozilla. Mail wins on the UI hands down, but Mozilla supports more IMAP features. Both are free.

I expect the landscape to change when Bare Bones get IMAP support into Mailsmith.

Mailsmith is just too darn expensive and it does not offer IMAP. If you have ever used IMAP I don't think you would want to be without it. So, Mail.app wins for me. I used to use Entourage, but will never go back to that bloated beast. I am doing very well getting away from MS products. My ibook does not have one MS application on it.
